Carl Friedrich Gauss, German mathematician, generally regarded as one of the greatest mathematicians of all time for his contributions to number theory, geometry, probability theory, geodesy, planetary astronomy, the theory of functions, and potential theory (including electromagnetism).
Carl Friedrich Gauss worked in a wide variety of fields in both mathematics and physics incuding number theory, analysis, differential geometry, geodesy, magnetism, astronomy and optics. His work has had an immense influence in many areas.
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.
Johann Carl Friedrich Gauss is one of the most influential mathematicians in history. Gauss was born on April 30, 1777 in a small German city north of the Harz mountains named Braunschweig. The son of peasant parents (both were illiterate), he developed a staggering number of important ideas and had many more …
Although he is best known as one of the greatest mathematicians of all time, Carl Friedrich Gauss was also a pioneer in the study of magnetism and electricity. For an extensive survey of terrestrial magnetism, he invented an early type of magnetometer, a device that measures the direction and strength of a magnetic field.

Johann Carl Friedrich Gauss was a German mathematician, astronomer, geodesist, and physicist who contributed to many fields in mathematics and science. He was director of the Göttingen Observatory and professor of astronomy from 1807 until his death in 1855.
May 17, 2018 · Carl Friedrich Gauss (1777–1855), greatest of German mathematicians, was born in Brunswick on April 30, 1777. (He was baptized Johann Friedrich Carl, but he later dropped his first name and reversed the second and third.)
Mar 25, 2023 · Carl Friedrich GAUSS. b. 30 April 1777 - d. 23 February 1855. Summary. Gauss shaped the treatment of observations into a practical tool. Various principles which he advocated became an integral part of statistics and his theory of errors remained a major focus of probability theory up to the 1930s.
