Thus, many discoveries were not credited to him and were remade by others later, e.g., the work of János Bolyai and Nikolai Lobachevsky in NON-Euclidean Geometry, Augustin Cauchy in complex variable analysis, Carl Jacobi in elliptic functions, and Sir William Rowan Hamilton in quaternions.
As a mathematical genious at a very young age, Gauss was intellectually almost completely alone - during his whole life [he] found no one with whom to share his most valued thoughts and he apparently had little hope of being understood by his contemporaries.
