Jon Folkman (1938-1969) was an American mathematician known for significant contributions to combinatorics using topological methods. He earned his PhD from Princeton University in 1964. Notably, he is recognized for the Shapley-Folkman lemma in convex geometry and for constructing the Folkman Graph in 1967. Folkman's academic career was cut short due to a brain tumor, leading to depression and ultimately his untimely death by suicide. He was a pioneer in the theory of oriented matroids and posthumously published work in 1978.
