About the author

Jacob Eli Goodman was a geometer and music composer. He was Professor Emeritus at the City College of New York. He and his collaborator, Richard M. Pollack, were known for developing problems in discrete geometry, specifically in the study of arrangements of pseudolines and oriented matroids. He and Pollack were the founding editors of the journal Discrete & Computational Geometry.

Goodman also developed the "pancake problem," which he published under the pseudonym Harry Dweighter. He co-edited the book "Handbook of Discrete and Computational Geometry."
