Richard Ernest Bellman (August 26, 1920 – March 19, 1984) was an American applied mathematician, who introduced dynamic programming in 1953, and important contributions in other fields of mathematics. ==Biography== Bellman was born in 1920 in New York City to non-practising Jewish parents of Polish and Russian descent, Pearl (née Saffian) and John James Bellman,〔 who ran a small grocery store on Bergen Street near Prospect Park, Brooklyn.〔(Bellman biodata at history.mcs.st-andrews.ac.uk ); retrieved August 10, 2013.〕 He attended Abraham Lincoln High School, Brooklyn in 1937,〔Salvador Sanabria. (Richard Bellman profile at http://www-math.cudenver.edu ); retrieved October 3, 2008.〕 and studied mathematics at Brooklyn College where he earned a BA in 1941. He later earned an MA from the University of Wisconsin–Madison. During World War II he worked for a Theoretical Physics Division group in Los Alamos. In 1946 he received his Ph.D at Princeton under the supervision of Solomon Lefschetz.〔(Mathematics Genealogy Project )〕 Beginning 1949 Bellman worked for many years at RAND corporation and it was during this time that he developed dynamic programming.〔Bellman R: ''An introduction to the theory of dynamic programming'' RAND Corp. Report 1953 (Based on unpublished researches from 1949. It contained the first statement of the principle of optimality)〕 Later in life, Richard Bellman's interests began to emphasize biology and medicine, which he identified as “the frontiers of contemporary science”. In 1967, he became founding editor of the journal Mathematical Biosciences which specialized in the publication of applied mathematics research for medical and biological topics. In 1985, the Bellman Prize in Mathematical Biosciences was created in his honor, being award biannually to the journal's best research paper. Bellman was diagnosed with a brain tumor in 1973, which was removed but resulted in complications that left him severely disabled. He was a professor at the University of Southern California, a Fellow in the American Academy of Arts and Sciences (1975), a member of the National Academy of Engineering (1977), and a member of the National Academy of Sciences (1983). He was awarded the IEEE Medal of Honor in 1979, "for contributions to decision processes and control system theory, particularly the creation and application of dynamic programming". His key work is the Bellman equation. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Richard E. Bellman」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
