Gauss

Gauss was a German scientist and mathematician.  People call him the founder of
modern mathematics.  He also worked in astronomy and physics. His work in
astronomy and physics is nearly as significant as that in mathematics.  Gauss
also worked in crystallography, optics, biostatisics, and mechanics.

Gauss was born on April 30, 1777 in Brunswick.  Brunswick is what is now called
West Germany, He was born to 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 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
mathematics.  In 1793-94 he did intensive research in number theory, especially
on prime number.  He made this his life's passion and is regarded as its modern
founder.

Gauss studied at the University of Gottingen from 17...
