During his tenure, Gauss devoted himself to the research of number theory, algebra, geometry, analysis, complex variable function, statistical mathematics and so on, and achieved a series of results. Many discoveries named after him, such as Gauss theorem, Gauss formula and Gauss function, are still shining in many mathematical and scientific departments.

Gauss showed extraordinary mathematical talent at an early age, and was appreciated by Archduke Karl willem ferdinand. With the support of Dagong, 1795- 1798 studied at the University of G? ttingen, and 1799 obtained a doctorate from Harley University for proving the basic theorem of algebra. 1807 to 1855, died, and served as director of gottingen observatory and a university professor.

1796 made a regular heptagon with a ruler compass-a geometric drawing problem for two thousand years since Euclid. Then the Euler conjecture-quadratic reciprocity law in number theory is proved. It is said that from then on he decided to give up classical literature and devote himself to mathematics.

180 1 year, the orbit of ceres discovered by Italian astronomer Piazi (1746- 1826) was calculated by his own planetary orbit weighting method and least square method. Ceres' orbit calculation made him famous all over the world.
