Biography
David E. Goldman (1910–1998) was a scientist famous for the Goldman equation which he derived for his doctorate degree at Columbia University.
In the 1950s, while employed by the United States Navy, he was part of the CHABA (Committee on hearing and bioacoustics) team, which looked at the human effects of high-intensity noise. He became an early proponent of protection against loud noise and vibration. His son Dr. James Eliot Goldman is a scientist and neuropathologist.
