American mathematician and educator
William Karush (1 March 1917 – 22 February 1997) was an American professor of mathematics at California State University at Northridge and was a mathematician best known for his contribution to Karush–Kuhn–Tucker conditions . In his master's thesis he was the first to publish these necessary conditions for the inequality-constrained problem,[1] although he became renowned after a seminal conference paper by Harold W. Kuhn and Albert W. Tucker .[2] He also worked as a physicist for the Manhattan Project , although he signed the Szilárd petition and became a peace activist afterwards.[3]
