	Gauss, Karl Friedrich (1777-1855)
		Gauss turned his attention to mathematical applications for astronomy at about the same time that Guiseppe Piazzi discovered the first asteroid, Ceres, in 1801.
		Gauss also worked out the theories of perturbations that were eventually used by Urbain Leverrier and John Adams in their independent calculations that led to the discovery of Neptune.
		Gauss also remarked, in a letter to Alexander von Humboldt (1854), on the antipluralist views of William Whewell: "it would...

	Carl Friedrich Gauss - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Gauss was a child prodigy of the highest order, of whom there are many almost unbelievable anecdotes pertaining to his astounding precocity while a mere toddler, and made his first ground-breaking mathematical discoveries while still a teenager.
		Gauss was so pleased by this result that he requested that a regular heptadecagon be inscribed on his tombstone.
		Gauss predicted correctly the position at which it could be found again, and it was rediscovered by Franz Xaver von Zach on December 31, 1801 in Gotha, and one day later by Heinrich Olbers in Bremen.

	Gauss (crater) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Gauss is a large lunar crater, named after Carl Friedrich Gauss, that is located near the northeastern limb of the Moon's near side.
		Southwest of Gauss is the crater pair of Hahn and Berosus.
		The rim of Gauss crater is better formed in the northern half, and the inner walls have some terracing along the northwest and appear slumped in the northeast.

	Carl Friedrich Gauss
		Gauss was shattered and wrote to Olbers asking him give him a home for a few weeks, to gather new strength in the arms of your friendship - strength for a life which is only valuable because it belongs to my three small children.
		Gauss was married for a second time the next year, to Minna the best friend of Johanna, and although they had three children, this marriage seemed to be one of convenience for Gauss.
		Gauss was excited by this prospect and by 1840 he had written three important papers on the subject: Intensitas vis magneticae terrestris ad mensuram absolutam revocata (1832), Allgemeine Theorie des Erdmagnetismus (1839) and Allgemeine Lehrsätze in Beziehung auf die im verkehrten Verhältnisse des Quadrats der Entfernung wirkenden Anziehungs- und Abstossungskräfte (1840).

		Gauss studied mathematics at the University of Göttingen from 1795 to 1798, and received his doctorate for a proof of an algebraic theorem which had long eluded definitive proof.
		Gauss was very impressed with Germain's work, giving her encouragement throughout her life and even speaking very highly of her when he later found out that she was a woman.

		Gauss was educated at the Caroline College, Brunswick, and the Univ. of GOttingen, his education and early research being financed by the Duke of Brunswick.
		This led to his extensive investigations in the theory of space curves and surfaces and his important contributions to differential geometry as well as to such practical results as his invention of the heliotrope, a device used to measure distances by means of reflected sunlight.
		During the last years of his life Gauss was concerned with topics now falling under the general heading of topology, which had not yet been developed at that time, and he correctly predicted that this subject would become of great importance in mathematics.

		Carl Friedrich Gauss, who, with Archimedes and Newton, ranks as one of the greatest mathematicians of all time, at an early age overturned the theories and methods of 18th-century mathematics and, following his own revolutionary theory of numbers, opened the way to a mid-19th-century rigorization of analysis.
		As part of his technique, Gauss used his method of least squares, developed about 1794, a method by which the best estimated value is derived from the minimum sums of squared differences in a particular computation.
		Gauss was one of the first to doubt that Euclidean geometry was inherent in nature and thought.

		Perhaps one of the reasons that Carl Friedrich Gauss was able to create so much mathematics in his lifetime was that he got a very early start.
		Gauss was born in Brunswick, Germany as the only son of poor peasants living in miserable conditions.
		When Gauss was ten years old he was allowed to attend an arithmetic class taught by a man (Buttner) who had a reputation for being cynical and having little respect for the peasant children he was teaching.

		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, Allgerneine Theorie des Erdmagnetismus, and the Allgemeine Le/zrsiitzeon the theory of forces attracting according to the inverse square of the distance.
		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 Nachiass contains further researches on this subject, and also researches (unfortunately very fragmentary) on the lemniscate-function, andc., showing that Gauss was, even before 1800, in possession of many of the discoveries which have made the names of N. Abel and K. Jacobi illustrious.

		Between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter are an estimated 30,000 pieces of rocky debris, known collectively as the asteroids, or planetoids.
		The first and, incidentally, the largest (Ceres) was discovered Jan. 1, 1801, by the Italian astronomer Father Piazzi (1746–1826), and its orbit was calculated by the German mathematician Karl Friedrich Gauss (1777–1855).
		Gauss invented a new method of calculating orbits on that occasion.

		Johann Karl Friedrich Gauss, born in 1777 in Braunschweig, Germany, was one of the most prolific and influential mathematicians in history, in spite of the fact that he was a perfectionist and did not publish many of his discoveries.
		One notable exception was the French mathematician Sophie Germain, who corresponded with Gauss under the pen name Antoine-August Le Blanc, because women were not allowed in mathematics.
		One of Gauss' better known results is the Prime Number Theorem, which, given any natural number n, estimates the number of primes below that number as n / log n.
