This article is a brief survey of David Gottlieb’s extraordinary research career. It is impossible to give a thorough presentation of all his research and the impact of his work, but we shall describe the main contributions and give examples of the results in some of his papers. David was for many years the dominating person in the development of spectral methods, and we devote much of the space in this article to this field.
