Ivar Stakgold (born December 13, 1925) is a Norwegian-born American academic mathematician and bridge player from Newark, Delaware.[1] As the sole author of two books he specialized in boundary value problems (LCSH).[2][3]

Life

Stakgold was born in Oslo, Norway.[4] He studied applied mathematics at Harvard University and earned the Ph.D. in 1949 with a dissertation under Léon Nicolas Brillouin, The Cauchy Relations In A Molecular Theory of Elasticity.[5] He is professor emeritus of mathematical sciences at the University of Delaware and a researcher at the University of California, San Diego.[6] He is a former president of the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (SIAM).[2]
