Norwegian American mathematician

Ivar Stakgold (December 13, 1925 – May 29, 2018) was a Norwegian-born American academic mathematician and bridge player from Newark, Delaware. As the sole author of two books he specialized in boundary value problems (LCSH).

Life

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