Carl Friedrich Gauss - Biography, Facts and Pictures Carl Friedrich Gauss was the last man who knew of all mathematics He was probably the greatest mathematician the world has ever known - although perhaps Archimedes, Isaac Newton, and Leonhard Euler also have legitimate claims to the title
Gauss, Karl Friedrich (1777-1855) -- from Eric Weissteins . . . At age 24, Gauss published one of the most brilliant achievements in mathematics, Disquisitiones Arithmeticae (1801) In it, Gauss systematized the study of number theory (properties of the integers) Gauss proved that every number is the sum of at most three triangular numbers and developed the algebra of congruences
Gauss (unit) - Wikipedia The gauss (symbol: G, sometimes Gs) is a unit of measurement of magnetic induction, also known as magnetic flux density The unit is part of the Gaussian system of units, which inherited it from the older centimetre–gram–second electromagnetic units (CGS-EMU) system
