Who died first of George Adomian and William Saroyan
George Adomian George Adomian (March 21, 1922 – June 17, 1996) was an American mathematician of Armenian descent who developed the Adomian decomposition method (ADM) for solving nonlinear differential equations, both ordinary and partial. The method is explained, among other places, in his book "Solving Frontier Problems in Physics: The Decomposition Method" (Kluwer, Dordrecht, 2004). He was a faculty member at the University of Georgia (UGA) from 1966 through 1989. While at UGA, he started the Center for Applied Mathematics. Adomian was also an aerospace engineer.
Edwin Ellis (musician) Ellis received his professional training from his father, and appeared when a boy of seven as solo violinist at Cremorne Gardens. He joined the orchestras of the Princess's and Adelphi theatres, becoming general musical director at the Adelphi about 1867, and composing music suitable for the dramas given there. In poor health, he then worked in the band of the Queen's Theatre, Liverpool, for a change of air. His health, however, did not improve, and he died aged 35, at St. Thomas's Hospital, 20 October 1878.
