Template:Short description Template:About Template:Infobox scientist Harold Mead Stark (born August 6, 1939)<ref name=Bios2007> Template:Cite journal</ref> is an American mathematician, specializing in number theory. He is best known for his solution<ref>Template:Cite journal</ref> of the Gauss class number 1 problem, in effect correcting and completing the earlier work of Kurt Heegner, and for Stark's conjecture. More recently, he collaborated with Audrey Terras to study zeta functions in graph theory. He is currently on the faculty of the University of California, San Diego.
Stark received his bachelor's degree from the California Institute of Technology in 1961 and his PhD from the University of California, Berkeley in 1964. He was on the faculty at the University of Michigan from 1964 to 1968, at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology from 1968 to 1980, and at the University of California, San Diego from 1980 to the present.<ref name=UCSD2007>Template:Cite web </ref>
Stark was elected to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 1983 and to the United States National Academy of Sciences in 2007.<ref name=Bios2007 /><ref name=UCSD2007 /> In 2012, he became a fellow of the American Mathematical Society.<ref>List of Fellows of the American Mathematical Society, retrieved 2013-08-05.</ref>
