		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.

	Carl Friedrich Gauss
		Gauss was well versed in general literature and the chief languages of modern Europe, and was a member of nearly all the leading scientific societies in Europe.
		The volumes of their publication, Resultate aus den Beobachtungen des magnetischen Vereins, extend from 1836 to 1839; and in those for 1838 and 1839 are contained the two important memoirs by Gauss, Allgemeine Theorie des Erdmagnetismus, and the Allgemeine Lehrsätz -- on the theory of forces attracting according to the inverse square of the distance.
		The Nachlass contains further researches on this subject, and also researches (unfortunately very fragmentary) on the lemniscate-function, etc., showing that Gauss was, even before 1800, in possession of many of the discoveries which have made the names of Niels Henrik Abel and Karl Gustav Jacobi illustrious.
