## Why They Matter
Naum Z. Shor occupied a notable position within Soviet and Ukrainian mathematics and computational science through sustained research, institutional leadership, and teaching. His specialization in mathematical analysis and in applied areas of nonlinear and stochastic programming aligned him with core problems of optimization and control that were central to mathematical cybernetics and applied mathematics in the Soviet scientific establishment. Election to the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine and receipt of the USSR State Prize and the State Prize of Ukraine indicate high-level recognition of his scientific contributions. His roles at the Glushkov Institute of Cybernetics and at leading technical universities placed him within important centers for computation and applied mathematics, where he contributed to research programs and graduate education. Bibliographic and authority records across MathSciNet, zbMATH, dblp, VIAF and national library systems document a scholarly output that continues to be discoverable and citable. Without his career, the institutional research capacity and academic literature in his specialty areas within Ukraine and the broader Soviet scientific community would have had one less senior contributor and organizer.
