David Goss
David Mark Goss (April 20, 1952 – April 4, 2017[1]) was a mathematician, a professor in the department of mathematics at Ohio State University,[2] and the editor-in-chief of the Journal of Number Theory.[3] He received his B.S. in mathematics in 1973 from University of Michigan[2] and his Ph.D. in 1977 from Harvard University under the supervision of Barry Mazur;[4] prior to Ohio State he held positions at Princeton University, Harvard, the University of California, Berkeley, and Brandeis University.[2] He worked on function fields and introduced the Goss zeta function.

gollark: Also, it's somewhat unintuitive to make spæce stations and such.
gollark: I do not wish to do this. I did it before and found it boring.
gollark: AR is about as conceptually complex but æææ multiblocks.
gollark: AR *essentially* does, but you have to come up with a working design first based on guessing.
gollark: I see. I prefer this, really.
