It is not the least of Gauss's claims to the admiration of mathematicians, that, while fully penetrated with a sense of the vastness of the science, he exacted the utmost rigorousness in every part of it, never passed over a difficulty, as if it did not exist, and never accepted a theorem as true beyond the limits within which it could actually be demonstrated. [71], On 30 April 2018, Google honoured Gauss in his would-be 241st birthday with a Google Doodle showcased in Europe, Russia, Israel, Japan, Taiwan, parts of Southern and Central America and the United States. [44] Gauss wanted Eugene to become a lawyer, but Eugene wanted to study languages. A full proof of necessity was given by, CS1 maint: bot: original URL status unknown (. [73], German mathematician and physicist (1777–1855), "Gauss" redirects here. Gauss was so pleased with this result that he requested that a regular heptadecagon be inscribed on his tombstone. In The Hutchinson Dictionary of scientific biography. He conceived spiritual life in the whole universe as a great system of law penetrated by eternal truth, and from this source he gained the firm confidence that death does not end all. They had an argument over a party Eugene held, for which Gauss refused to pay. Gauss approached with his answer: 5050. A Fryant and V L N Sarma, Gauss' first proof of the fundamental theorem of algebra. This was in keeping with his personal motto pauca sed matura ("few, but ripe"). [13] [13] This confirmation eventually led to the classification of Ceres as minor-planet designation 1 Ceres: the first asteroid (now dwarf planet) ever discovered. [22], In 1845, he became an associated member of the Royal Institute of the Netherlands; when that became the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences in 1851, he joined as a foreign member. H Grauert, Wie Gauss die alte Göttinger Mathematik schuf. In 1818 Gauss, putting his calculation skills to practical use, carried out a geodetic survey of the Kingdom of Hanover, linking up with previous Danish surveys. K-R Biermann, Zu den Beziehungen von C F Gauss und A v Humboldt zu A F Möbius. With Johanna (1780–1809), his children were Joseph (1806–1873), Wilhelmina (1808–1846) and Louis (1809–1810). O B Sheynin, C F Gauss and the theory of errors. Piazzi could track Ceres for only somewhat more than a month, following it for three degrees across the night sky. Daniel Kehlmann's 2005 novel Die Vermessung der Welt, translated into English as Measuring the World (2006), explores Gauss's life and work through a lens of historical fiction, contrasting them with those of the German explorer Alexander von Humboldt. [13] This work was fundamental in consolidating number theory as a discipline and has shaped the field to the present day. Gauss usually declined to present the intuition behind his often very elegant proofs—he preferred them to appear "out of thin air" and erased all traces of how he discovered them. Two people gave eulogies at his funeral: Gauss's son-in-law Heinrich Ewald, and Wolfgang Sartorius von Waltershausen, who was Gauss's close friend and biographer. H-J Treder, Gauss und die Gravitationstheorie, F Henneman, Gauss' law of errors and the method of least squares : a historical sketch. His personal diaries indicate that he had made several important mathematical discoveries years or decades before his contemporaries published them. [54], One such method was the fast Fourier transform. For the entire content of the work ... coincides almost exactly with my own meditations which have occupied my mind for the past thirty or thirty-five years." In the days of his full strength, it furnished him recreation and, by the prospects which it opened up to him, gave consolation. H-J Felber, Die beiden Ausnahmebestimmungen in der von C F Gauss aufgestellten Osterformel. In this work, Gauss used comprehensive approximation methods which he created for that purpose. In 1831, Gauss developed a fruitful collaboration with the physics professor Wilhelm Weber, leading to new knowledge in magnetism (including finding a representation for the unit of magnetism in terms of mass, charge, and time) and the discovery of Kirchhoff's circuit laws in electricity. [citation needed] The reverse featured the approach for Hanover. [42] Minna Waldeck died on 12 September 1831. This led in 1828 to an important theorem, the Theorema Egregium (remarkable theorem), establishing an important property of the notion of curvature. [24] On the way home from Riemann's lecture, Weber reported that Gauss was full of praise and excitement. Gauss's God was not a cold and distant figment of metaphysics, nor a distorted caricature of embittered theology. 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. G W Stewart, Gauss, statistics, and Gaussian elimination. It took many years for Eugene's success to counteract his reputation among Gauss's friends and colleagues. Religion is not a question of literature, but of life. Gauss's brain was preserved and was studied by Rudolf Wagner, who found its mass to be slightly above average, at 1,492 grams, and the cerebral area equal to 219,588 square millimeters[26] (340.362 square inches). He completed his magnum opus, Disquisitiones Arithmeticae, in 1798, at the age of 21—though it was not published until 1801. In his memorial on Gauss, Wolfgang Sartorius von Waltershausen says that when Gauss was barely three years old he corrected a math error his father made; and that when he was seven, he confidently solved an arithmetic series problem (commonly said to be 1 + 2 + 3 + ... + 98 + 99 + 100) faster than anyone else in his class of 100 students. The solution sought is then separated from the remaining six based on physical conditions. D A Cox, The arithmetic-geometric mean of Gauss. On 8 April he became the first to prove the quadratic reciprocity law. Abington, United Kingdom: Helicon. He believed that a life worthily spent here on earth is the best, the only, preparation for heaven. Johann Carl Friedrich Gauss. Eugene shared a good measure of Gauss's talent in languages and computation. [41] Gauss plunged into a depression from which he never fully recovered. Quoted in Waltershausen, Wolfgang Sartorius von (1856, repr. [a] This was a major discovery in an important field of mathematics; construction problems had occupied mathematicians since the days of the Ancient Greeks, and the discovery ultimately led Gauss to choose mathematics instead of philology as a career. [7] He was christened and confirmed in a church near the school he attended as a child.[8]. [20] Among his results, Gauss showed that under a paraxial approximation an optical system can be characterized by its cardinal points[21] and he derived the Gaussian lens formula. Mathematicians including Jean le Rond d'Alembert had produced false proofs before him, and Gauss's dissertation contains a critique of d'Alembert's work. [6] His mother was illiterate and never recorded the date of his birth, remembering only that he had been born on a Wednesday, eight days before the Feast of the Ascension (which occurs 39 days after Easter). This remarkably general law allows mathematicians to determine the solvability of any quadratic equation in modular arithmetic. The year 1796 was productive for both Gauss and number theory. Gauss remained mentally active into his old age, even while suffering from gout and general unhappiness. Kontakt. [34] Other religious influences included Wilhelm Braubach, Johann Peter Süssmilch, and the New Testament. [9] Many versions of this story have been retold since that time with various details regarding what the series was – the most frequent being the classical problem of adding all the integers from 1 to 100. Toward the end of his life, it brought him confidence. I imagine the world conqueror must feel thus, who, after one kingdom is scarcely conquered, stretches out his arms for others.[50]. Scottish-American mathematician and writer Eric Temple Bell said that if Gauss had published all of his discoveries in a timely manner, he would have advanced mathematics by fifty years.[45]. It is said that he attended only a single scientific conference, which was in Berlin in 1828. [36] He was quoted stating: "The world would be nonsense, the whole creation an absurdity without immortality,"[37] and for this statement he was severely criticized by the atheist Eugen Dühring who judged him as a narrow superstitious man. S M Stigler, Gauss and the invention of least squares, S M Stigler, An attack on Gauss, published by Legendre in, B Szénassy, Remarks on Gauss's work on non-Euclidean geometry, W A van der Spek, The Easter formulae of C F Gauss, F van der Blij, Gauss and analytic number theory. [69], In 2007 a bust of Gauss was placed in the Walhalla temple.[70]. [18] It was during this time that he formulated his namesake law. [10][11][12] There are many other anecdotes about his precocity while a toddler, and he made his first groundbreaking mathematical discoveries while still a teenager. Matemático , astrónomo y físico alemán que contribuyó significativamente en muchos campos, incluida la Teoría de los números , el Análisis Matemático , la Geometría Diferencial , la geodesia , el magnetismo y la óptica . [72], Carl Friedrich Gauss, who also introduced the so-called Gaussian logarithms, sometimes gets confused with Friedrich Gustav Gauss [de] (1829–1915), a German geologist, who also published some well-known logarithm tables used up into the early 1980s. ", "Johann Carl Friedrich Gauß was called "the prince of mathematics." "Sophie Germain, or, Was Gauss a feminist?". 725) appeared in 1955 on the hundredth anniversary of his death; two others, nos. Wilhelm also moved to America in 1837 and settled in Missouri, starting as a farmer and later becoming wealthy in the shoe business in St. Louis. He then married Minna Waldeck (1788–1831)[41][42] on 4 August 1810,[41] and had three more children. Gauss supported the monarchy and opposed Napoleon, whom he saw as an outgrowth of revolution. His attempts clarified the concept of complex numbers considerably along the way. [13][17] He further advanced modular arithmetic, greatly simplifying manipulations in number theory. Many biographers of Gauss disagree about his religious stance, with Bühler and others considering him a deist with very unorthodox views,[31][32][33] while Dunnington (though admitting that Gauss did not believe literally in all Christian dogmas and that it is unknown what he believed on most doctrinal and confessional questions) points out that he was, at least, a nominal Lutheran. Berlin: Julius Springer Verlag, 1926. [66], There are several stories of his early genius. Thus he sought a position in astronomy, and in 1807 was appointed Professor of Astronomy and Director of the astronomical observatory in Göttingen, a post he held for the remainder of his life. That is, curvature does not depend on how the surface might be embedded in 3-dimensional space or 2-dimensional space. Carl Gauss, el matemático que creó una de las herramientas más poderosas de la ciencia para hallar un planeta perdido (y esa fue apenas una de sus genialidades) Two religious works which Gauss read frequently were Braubach's Seelenlehre (Giessen, 1843) and Süssmilch's Gottliche (Ordnung gerettet A756); he also devoted considerable time to the New Testament in the original Greek.[35]. (2014). Gauss was an ardent perfectionist and a hard worker. [23], In 1854, Gauss selected the topic for Bernhard Riemann's inaugural lecture "Über die Hypothesen, welche der Geometrie zu Grunde liegen" (About the hypotheses that underlie Geometry). The method had been described earlier by Adrien-Marie Legendre in 1805, but Gauss claimed that he had been using it since 1794 or 1795. Ironically, by today's standard, Gauss's own attempt is not acceptable, owing to the implicit use of the Jordan curve theorem. He was never a prolific writer, refusing to publish work which he did not consider complete and above criticism. E Breitenberger, Gauss's geodesy and the axiom of parallels, E Buissant des Amorie, Gauss' formula for Ï. 1965). num = Δ + Δ' + Δ". If, on the other hand, we turn to a memoir of Euler's, there is a sort of free and luxuriant gracefulness about the whole performance, which tells of the quiet pleasure which Euler must have taken in each step of his work. K Zormbala, Gauss and the definition of the plane concept in Euclidean elementary geometry. Technische Universität Braunschweig Universitätsplatz 2 38106 Braunschweig Postfach: 38092 Braunschweig Telefon: +49 (0) 531 391-0. The son left in anger and, in about 1832, emigrated to the United States. Gauss also made important contributions to number theory with his 1801 book Disquisitiones Arithmeticae (Latin, Arithmetical Investigations), which, among other things, introduced the triple bar symbol ≡ for congruence and used it in a clean presentation of modular arithmetic, contained the first two proofs of the law of quadratic reciprocity, developed the theories of binary and ternary quadratic forms, stated the class number problem for them, and showed that a regular heptadecagon (17-sided polygon) can be constructed with straightedge and compass. 1246 and 1811, in 1977, the 200th anniversary of his birth. While working for the American Fur Company in the Midwest, he learned the Sioux language. In the process, he so streamlined the cumbersome mathematics of 18th-century orbital prediction that his work remains a cornerstone of astronomical computation. K-R Biermann, C F Gauss in seinem Verhältnis zur britischen Wissenschaft und Literatur. [41][42], Gauss had six children. The teacher suspected a cheat, but no. "[5] When his son Eugene announced that he wanted to become a Christian missionary, Gauss approved of this, saying that regardless of the problems within religious organizations, missionary work was "a highly honorable" task. [5], Johann Carl Friedrich Gauss was born on 30 April 1777 in Brunswick (Braunschweig), in the Duchy of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel (now part of Lower Saxony, Germany), to poor, working-class parents. [58] It introduced the Gaussian gravitational constant, and contained an influential treatment of the method of least squares, a procedure used in all sciences to this day to minimize the impact of measurement error.

They constructed the first electromechanical telegraph in 1833,[18] which connected the observatory with the institute for physics in Göttingen. [30], Apart from his correspondence, there are not many known details about Gauss's personal creed. This problem leads to an equation of the eighth degree, of which one solution, the Earth's orbit, is known. [25], On 23 February 1855, Gauss died of a heart attack in Göttingen (then Kingdom of Hanover and now Lower Saxony);[6][18] he is interred in the Albani Cemetery there.
