May 16, 2018 · Carl Friedrich Gauss (1777-1855) is generally ranked with Archimedes and Newton as one of the three greatest mathematicians that ever lived. His work, in terms of its all-pervasive importance, its painstaking attention to detail, and its completely developed beauty, somehow reminds one of Beethoven, his contemporary and compatriot.

Johann Carl Friedrich Gauss (German: Gauß [kaʁl ˈfʁiːdʁɪç ˈɡaʊs] ⓘ; Latin: Carolus Fridericus Gauss; 30 April 1777 – 23 February 1855) was a German mathematician, astronomer, geodesist, and physicist who contributed to many fields in mathematics and science.
Carl Friedrich Gauss was the last man who knew of all mathematics. He was probably the greatest mathematician the world has ever known - although perhaps Archimedes, Isaac Newton, and Leonhard Euler also have legitimate claims to the title.
