He held positions at the Institute of Mathematics and the Institute of Computer Sciences of the [University of Wroclaw](/source/University_of_Wroclaw),{{cite web|url=https://international.uni.wroc.pl/en/faculty-mathematics-and-computer-science|title=Faculty of Mathematics and Computer Science - University of Wrocław}} and the Institute of Applied Mathematics Bonn{{cite web|url=https://www.iam.uni-bonn.de/|title=Institute for applied mathematics: Home}} in Germany. In 1986, he took a permanent faculty position at [Southern Illinois University](/source/Southern_Illinois_University). ==Contributions== Neuman has contributed 130 journal articles{{cite web|url=https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=g1vYgh4AAAAJ&hl=en|title=Edward Neuman – Google Scholar Citations}} in computational mathematics and mathematical inequalities such as the [Ky Fan inequality](/source/Ky_Fan_inequality), on bivariate means,{{cite journal|title=Note on certain inequalities for Neuman means|first1=Shu-Bo|last1=Chen|first2=Zai-Yin|last2=He|first3=Yu-Ming|last3=Chu|first4=Ying-Qing|last4=Song|first5=Xiao-Jing|last5=Tao|journal=Journal of Inequalities and Applications|date=25 September 2014|volume=2014|issue=1|page=370|doi=10.1186/1029-242x-2014-370|arxiv=1405.4387|s2cid=55843711 |doi-access=free }} and mathematical approximations and expansions. Neuman also developed software for computing with spline functions{{cite web|url=http://library.wolfram.com/infocenter/MathSource/724|title=Spline Functions – from Wolfram Library Archive}} and wrote several tutorials for the [MATLAB](/source/MATLAB) programing software.{{Cite web|url=http://lagrange.math.siu.edu/Neuman/tuts.html|title = Tutorials}} Among the mathematical concepts named after Edward Neuman are Neuman–Sándor Mean and Neuman Means, which are useful tools for advancing the theory of [special functions](/source/special_functions) including [Jacobi elliptic functions](/source/Jacobi_elliptic_functions): * The [Neuman–Sándor mean](/source/Neuman%E2%80%93S%C3%A1ndor_mean){{cite journal|title=Optimal bounds for Neuman–Sándor mean in terms of the geometric convex combination of two Seiffert means|first1=Hua-Ying|last1=Huang|first2=Nan|last2=Wang|first3=Bo-Yong|last3=Long|journal=Journal of Inequalities and Applications|date=8 January 2016|volume=2016|issue=1|doi=10.1186/s13660-015-0955-2|doi-access=free}} * The Neuman Means of the first kind{{cite web|url=http://jmi.ele-math.com/10-47/Sharp-Lehmer-mean-bounds-for-Neuman-means-with-applications|title=Ele-Math – Journal of Mathematical Inequalities: Sharp Lehmer mean bounds for Neuman means with applications}} * The Neuman Means of the second kind{{cite web|url=http://jmi.ele-math.com/09-46/Sharp-inequalities-involving-Neuman-means-of-the-second-kind|title=Ele-Math – Journal of Mathematical Inequalities: Sharp inequalities involving Neuman means of the second kind}} ==Awards and honors== Neuman was named the Outstanding Teacher in 2001 in the College of Science at [Southern Illinois University Carbondale](/source/Southern_Illinois_University_Carbondale).
