About the author

Carl Friedrich Gauss

1777–1855

A child prodigy who grew into one of history’s greatest mathematicians, he helped shape fields ranging from number theory and statistics to astronomy and geodesy. His work was so wide-ranging and influential that later generations came to call him the “Prince of Mathematicians.”
