   Who was Carl Friedrich Gauss?

   • I love the story of Carl Friedrich Gauss—who, as an elementary student in the late 1700s, amazed his teacher with how quickly he found the sum of the integers from 1 to 100 to be 5,050. Gauss recognized he had fifty pairs of numbers when he added the first and last number in the series, the second and second-last number in the series, and so on.

   How did Gauss sum all the numbers from 1 to 100?

   • Gauss used this same method to sum all the numbers from 1 to 100. He realized that he could pair up all the numbers. That meant he had 50 pairs, each with a sum of 101. He could then multiply 50 x 101 to arrive at his answer: 5050. Pattern showing addition of pairs from one to ten (©2021 Let’s Talk Science).

   How did Gauss add all the numbers from 1 to a number?

   • Gauss could have used his method to add all the numbers from 1 to any number - by pairing off the first number with the last, the second number with the second to last, and so on, he only had to multiply this total by half the last number, just one swift calculation. Can you see how Gauss's method works?

   Who invented the Gauss summation?

   • The Gauss Summation is named for Johann Karl Friedrich Gauss. He was a German mathematician. Gauss is one of history’s most influential mathematical thinkers. A legend suggests that Gauss came up with a new method of summing sequences at a very young age. The legend says that his math teacher asked the class to add the numbers 1 to 100.

   To sum all the numbers from 1 to 100, Gauss simply calculated \( \frac{100\times (100+1)}{2}=5050\), which is immensely easier than adding all the numbers from 1 to 100. Note that \( 1+2+3 + \cdots +(n-1)+n\) must always be a positive integer.

   Biography. At the age of seven, Carl Friedrich Gauss started elementary school, and his potential was noticed almost immediately. His teacher, Büttner, and his assistant, Martin Bartels, were amazed when Gauss summed the integers from 1 to 100 instantly by spotting that the sum was 50 pairs of numbers each pair summing to 101.
