Naum Zuselevich Shor (Russian:Наум Зуселевич Шор)(1 January 1937–26 February 2006) was a Ukrainian mathematician specializing in optimization. He is well known for his method of generalized gradient descent, which makes use of the subgradient. The ellipsoid method proposed by A.S. Nemirovsky and D.B. Yudin, which revolutionized the field of linear programming, is a special case of these subgradient-type methods.
Shor became a full member of the National Academy of Science of Ukraine in 1998.
