He was one of the first mathematicians to apply normed vector spaces in numerical analysis. He taught mathematics [1] at Purdue University
from 1942 until his retirement in 1975, at times holding joint appointment with the Schools of Engineering. He continued to teach as Professor Emeritus.
In 1998 in Berlin, Michael Golomb was honored as part of a special exhibition entitled "Terror and Exile: Persecuted and expelled Berlin mathematicians in the time of the Nazi regime."[3] The exhibition was organized by the city of Berlin to coincide with the International Congress of Mathematicians there.
Golomb co-authored a paper with
