The Free Online Dictionary of Computing ( http://foldoc.doc.ic.ac.uk/ dbh@doc.ic.ac.uk Previous: Caribou CodeWorks Next: Carnegie Mellon University Carl Friedrich Gauss person Gauss was something of a child prodigy; the most commonly told story relates that when he was 10 his teacher, wanting a rest, told his class to add up all the numbers from 1 to 100. Gauss did it in seconds, having noticed that 1+...+100 = 100+...+1 = (101+...+101)/2. He did important work in almost every area of mathematics. Such eclecticism is probably impossible today, since further progress in most areas of mathematics requires much hard background study. Some idea of the range of his work can be obtained by noting the many mathematical terms with "Gauss" in their names. E.g. Gaussian elimination (linear algebra); Gaussian primes (number theory); Gaussian distribution (statistics); Gauss [unit] (electromagnetism); Gaussian curvature (differential geometry); Gaussian quadrature (numerical analysis); Gauss-Bonnet formula (differential geometry); Gauss's identity (hypergeometric functions); Gauss sums (number theory). His favourite area of mathematics was number theory. He conjectured the

Back to the Table of Contents Biographies of Mathematicians - Gauss Back to the Table of Contents (http://physics.hallym.ac.kr/reference/physicist/jpeg/Gauss.jpeg) Carl Friedrich Gauss(1777-1855), was a German mathematician, who was noted for his wide-ranging contributions to physics, and particularly the study of electromagnetism. Gauss was born in Braunschweig, Germany on April 30, 1777. Gauss studied ancient languages in college, but at the age of 17 he became interested in mathematics. This interest led him to attempt to find a solution to the classical problem of constructing a regular heptagon, or seven-sided figure, with a ruler and a compass. He not only succeeded in proving this construction impossible, but went on to give methods of constructing figures with 17, 257, and 65,537 sides. In so doing he proved that the construction, with compass and ruler, of a regular polygon with an odd number of sides was possible only when the number of sides was a prime number of the series 3, 5, 17, 257, and 65,537 or was a multiple of two or more of these numbers. For his doctoral thesis he submitted a proof that every algebraic equation has at least one root, or solution. This theorem, which had challenged mathematicians for centuries, is still called "the Fundamental Theorem of Algebra" (see Algebra; Equations, Theory of).

« Carl Friedrich Gauss » Nacido el 30 de abril de 1777, en en Brunswick, (ahora Alemania), Fallecido el 23 de febrero de 1855 , en Göttingen, Hanover (Ahora Alemania) . Carl Friedrich Gauss, cuando tenía diez años de edad, su maestro solicitó a la clase que encontrará la suma de todos los números comprendidos entre uno y cien. El maestro, pensando que con ello la clase estaría ocupada algún tiempo, quedó asombrado cuando Gauss, levantó en seguida la mano y dio la respuesta correcta. Gauss reveló que encontró la solución usando el álgebra, el maestro se dio cuenta de que el niño era una promesa en las matemáticas. Hijo de un humilde albañil, Gauss dio señales dio señales de ser un genio antes de que cumpliera los tres años. A esa edad aprendió a leer y hacer cálculos aritméticos mentales con tanta habilidad que descubrió un error en los cálculos que hizo su padre para pagar unos sueldos. Ingresó a la escuela primaria antes de que cumpliera los siete años. Cuando tenía doce años, criticó los fundamentos dela geometría euclidiana; a los trece le interesaba las posibilidades de la geometría no euclidiana. A los quince, entendía la convergencia y probó el binomio de Newton . El genio y la precocidad de Gauss llamaron la atención del duque de Brunswick, quien dispuso, cuando el muchacho tenía catorce años, costear tanto su educación secundaria como universitaria. Gauss, a quien también le interesaban los clásicos y los idiomas, pensaba que haría de la filología la obra de su vida, pero las matemáticas resultaron ser una atracción irresistible.

Up Carl Friedrich Gauss Johann Carl Friedrich Gauss (April 30, 1777 - February 23, 1855) was a German mathematician, astronomer and physicist with a wide range of contributions; he is considered to be one of the leading mathematicians of all time. Gauss was born in Brunswick (German Braunschweig), Duchy of Brunswick (now Germany) as only son of lower class uneducated parents. He impressed his teachers early on; the famous story is that in elementary school, the teacher tried to occupy the ever-inquisitive Gauss by telling him to add up the (whole) numbers from 1 to 100. Shortly thereafter, to the astonishment of all, the young Gauss produced the correct answer, having realized that pairwise addition of terms from opposite ends of the list yielded identical intermediate sums (1 + 100 = 101; 2 + 99 = 101; 3 + 98 = 101; 4 + 97 = 101, etc.). Gauss earned a scholarship, and in college, he independently rediscovered several important theorems; his breakthrough occurred in 1796 when he correctly characterized all the regular polygons that can be constructed by ruler and compass alone, thereby completing work started by classical Greek mathematicians. Gauss was so pleased by this result that he requested that a regular 17-gon be inscribed on his tombstone. He was the first to prove the fundamental theorem of algebra; in fact, he produced four entirely different proofs for this theorem over his lifetime, clarifying the concept of complex number considerably along the way. He also made important contributions to number theory with his 1801 book Disquisitiones arithmeticae, which contained a clean presentation of modular arithmetic and the first proof of the law of quadratic reciprocity.

Dear Eugene: I cannot refrain from replying in a few lines to your letter dated the 16th of May, which came to hand on the 30th of June, although for two reasons I am compelled to be brief. In the first place, because Theresa is hurried in regard to dispatching the package tomorrow and, secondly, because I am somewhat indisposed and compelled to pass the greater part of the day lying on the sofa. This may be due chiefly to the intolerable heat, from which I always suffer greatly, which is greater this summer than I remember to have endured in all my life. According to the newspapers this heat seems to have prevailed all over Europe.

Johann Karl Friedrich Gauss Johann Karl Friedrich Gauss, -1855, German mathematician and physicist. Although Gauss made many contributions to applied science, especially electricity and magnetism , pure mathematics was his first love: he called mathematics "the queen of the sciences" and arithmetic "the queen of mathematics." His influence on mathematics was as significant to nineteenth-century science as Newton 's had been to the science of the eighteenth century. to , and received his doctorate for a proof of an algebraic theorem which had long eluded definitive proof. His Disquisitiones arithmeticae appeared when he was only twenty-four, and in his development of the idea of complex numbers revolutionized number theory and Euclidean geometry. Gauss applied many of his mathematical insights in the field of astronomy by successfully using the method of least squares to predict the location of the asteroid Ceres in . He described his methods at length in Theoria motus corporum coelestium In Gauss turned down an offered professorship in St. Petersburg
