Carl Friedrich Gauss

Johann Carl Friedrich Gauss (/ɡaʊs/; German: Gauß [kaʁl ˈfʁiːdʁɪç ˈɡaʊs]; Latin: Carolus Fridericus Gauss; 30 April 1777 – 23 February 1855) was a German mathematician and physicist who made significant contributions to many fields in mathematics and science. Sometimes referred to as the Princeps mathematicorum (Latin for '"the foremost of mathematicians"') and "the greatest mathematician since antiquity", Gauss had an exceptional influence in many fields of mathematics and science, and he is ranked among history's most influential mathematicians.

Carl Friedrich Gauss Prize 2018 David L. Donoho

The Gauss Prize is to honor scientists whose mathematical research has had an impact outside mathematics – either in technology, in business, or simply in people's everyday lives. The prize is awarded jointly by the Deutsche Mathematiker-Vereinigung (German Mathematical Union) and the Inte

Teach Astronomy - Measurement Error

http://www.teachastronomy.com/ There is no such thing as a perfect measurement. In science there's no such thing as perfect data. All observations and measurements have errors attached. The word error is perhaps inappropriate. Rather we should call it uncertainty due to limitations in

Teach Astronomy - Random and Systematic Errors

http://www.teachastronomy.com/ In science we deal with two fundamentally different types of errors. Random errors are usually associated with limitations in the measuring apparatus. A random error can displace a measurement either to the high or low side of the true value. Random errors

adding the numbers from 1 to 100

In this video I show how to add the numbers from 1 to 100. The technique involved was made famous by Carl Friedrich Gauss, who as legend has it completed this problem as an elementary school student. The bigger idea from this technique is that is gives a reliable way to add up the terms
