Donald Goldfarb (born August 14, 1941 in New York City ) is an American mathematician who deals with mathematical optimization and numerical analysis.
Goldfarb studied chemical engineering at Cornell University with a bachelor's degree in 1963 and at Princeton University with a master's degree in 1965 and a doctorate in 1966. He was then at the Courant Institute and from 1971 assistant professor and later professor of computer science at City College of New York . In 1982 he became Professor of Industrial Engineering and Operations Research at Columbia University .
He is one of the developers of the BFGS process (Broyden-Fletcher-Goldfarb-Shanno), a quasi-Newton process . In 1992 he developed the steepest edge simplex process with JJ Forrest .
He was several times at the Thomas J. Watson Research Center and 1974/75 at the British nuclear research center AERE Harwell . From 1989 he was editor of the Journal of Optimization and co-editor of Mathematics of Computation .
In 2017 Goldfarb received the John von Neumann Theory Prize from the Institute for Operations Research and the Management Sciences .
