William Gilbert Strang (born November 27, 1934 [1]) is an American mathematician known for his contributions to finite element theory, the calculus of variations, wavelet analysis and linear algebra. He has made many contributions to mathematics education, including publishing mathematics textbooks.
Many of these are issued in themed series, such as "Advances in design and control", "Financial mathematics" and "Monographs on discrete mathematics and applications". In particular, SIAM distributes books produced by Gilbert Strang's Wellesley-Cambridge Press, such as his Introduction to Linear Algebra (5th edition, 2016).
In applied mathematics Strang splitting is a numerical method for solving differential equations that are decomposable into a sum of differential operators. It is named after Gilbert Strang .
A rigorous mathematical basis for FEM was provided in 1973 with a publication by Gilbert Strang and George Fix. [12] The method has since been generalized for the numerical modeling of physical systems in a wide variety of engineering disciplines, such as electromagnetism, heat transfer, and fluid dynamics.

Gilbert Strang demonstrates the Hadamard conjecture at MIT in 2005, using Sylvester's construction. In mathematics , a Hadamard matrix , named after the French mathematician Jacques Hadamard , is a square matrix whose entries are either +1 or −1 and whose rows are mutually orthogonal .
The joint spectral radius was introduced in 1960 by Gian-Carlo Rota and Gilbert Strang, [1] two mathematicians from MIT, but started attracting attention with the work of Ingrid Daubechies and Jeffrey Lagarias. [2] They showed that the joint spectral radius can be used to describe smoothness properties of certain wavelet functions. [3]
In three-dimensional Euclidean space, these three planes represent solutions to linear equations, and their intersection represents the set of common solutions: in this case, a unique point. The blue line is the common solution to two of these equations. Linear algebra is the branch of mathematics concerning linear equations such as:
