  4. 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. In 1788 Gauss began his education at the Gymnasium with the help of ...

  5. Lived 1777 – 1855. 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. Gauss's published works are remarkable. At the age of just 21 he.
