biostatistics, and Making mechanics.
     Gauss was born on April 30, 1777 in Brunswick. Brunswick is what is now
called West Germany. He was born to a peasant couple. Gauss's father didn't want
Gauss to go to a University. In elementary school he soon impressed his teacher,
who is said to have convinced Gauss's father that his son should be permitted to
study with a view toward entering a university. In secondary school nobody
recognize his is talent for math and science because he rapidly distinguished
himself in ancient languages. When Gauss was 14 he impressed the duke of
Brunswick with his computing skill. The duke was so impressed that he generously
supported Gauss until his death in 1806.
     Gauss conceived almost all his basic mathematical discoveries between
the ages of 14 and 17. In 1791 he began to do totally new and innovative work in
