David Gilbarg (born September 17, 1918 in Boston , † April 20, 2001 in Palo Alto ) was an American mathematician who dealt with partial differential equations .
Gilbarg studied at the City College of New York , where he graduated in 1937. In 1941 he did his doctorate with Emil Artin at Indiana University ( The structure of the group of p-adic 1-units ). During World War II he headed the hydrodynamics and theoretical mechanics department at the Naval Ordnance Laboratory . After the war he was an assistant professor at Indiana University. From 1957 he was a professor at Stanford University , where he was a visiting professor from 1954 and before that as a visiting scholar. From 1959 to 1970 he was chairman of the mathematics faculty there. In 1989 he retired, but remained active as a mathematician. Gilbarg wrote a well-known textbook on partial differential equations with his doctoral student Neil Trudinger .
He was married and had a son.
His PhD students include James Serrin , Neil Trudinger , Norman George Meyers , Jerald Ericksen .
