David Mark Goss (April 20, 1952 – April 4, 2017{{Cite web |url=http://www.legacy.com/obituaries/dispatch/obituary.aspx?n=david-mark-goss&pid=184946410&fhid=8669 |title=David Mark Goss's Obituary on The Columbus Dispatch |website=The Columbus Dispatch |access-date=2017-11-30}}) was a mathematician, a professor in the department of mathematics at Ohio State University,[https://pro.osu.edu/profiles/goss.3/ OSU Faculty Profile] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110718052505/https://pro.osu.edu/profiles/goss.3/ |date=2011-07-18 }}. and the editor-in-chief of the Journal of Number Theory.[https://www.journals.elsevier.com/journal-of-number-theory/ Journal of Number Theory] home page. He received his B.S. in mathematics in 1973 from University of Michigan and his Ph.D. in 1977 from Harvard University under the supervision of Barry Mazur;{{MathGenealogy|id=22502}}. prior to Ohio State he held positions at Princeton University, Harvard, the University of California, Berkeley, and Brandeis University. He worked on function fields and introduced the Goss zeta function.
In 2012, he became a fellow of the American Mathematical Society.[https://www.ams.org/profession/fellows-list List of Fellows of the American Mathematical Society], retrieved 2013-01-19.
