Personal data:

Gauss, born in Brunswick and died in G? ttingen, is a famous German mathematician, physicist, astronomer and geodetic scientist. Gauss is regarded as the most important mathematician and has the reputation of "prince of mathematics".

Schooling experience:

1792, 15-year-old Gauss entered Brunswick College. There, Gauss began to study advanced mathematics. The general form of binomial theorem, "inverse square law" in number theory, prime number theorem and arithmetic geometric average were discovered independently.

1795 Gauss entered the University of G? ttingen. 1796, 19-year-old gauss got a very important achievement in the history of mathematics, that is, the theory and method of drawing a regular heptagon ruler.

Research experience:

1802, Gauss was elected as an academician of communication and a professor of Kazan University by Russian Academy of Sciences in St. Petersburg. 1802, he accurately predicted the position of the asteroid II Pallas Athena. At this time, his reputation spread far and wide, and honor rolled in.

He was elected as a member of the Russian Academy of Sciences in St. Petersburg, and pallas astronomer Olbers invited him to be the director of the G? ttingen Observatory. He didn't agree immediately, and he didn't go to G? ttingen until 1807. 1804 was elected as a member of the royal society.

Gauss's main achievements:

Math scores:

Euclid once pointed out that the geometric drawing of equilateral triangles, equilateral quadrangles, equilateral pentagons, equilateral pentagons and equilateral polygons with twice the number of sides mentioned above can be realized with compasses and rulers, but the research on this issue has not made much progress since then. On the basis of number theory, Gauss put forward a criterion to judge whether a regular polygon with a given number of sides can be drawn geometrically.

For example, you can use compasses and rulers to make a regular heptagon inscribed in a circle. This is the first discovery after Euclid.

Astronomical achievements:

180 1 Astronomical circles are worried about the huge gap between Mars and Jupiter, and think that there should be planets between Mars and Jupiter that have not been discovered.

180 1 On New Year's Day, an Italian astronomer observed the movement of a star with one-eighth brightness near Aries in Sicily. This asteroid, now called Ceres, appeared in the sky for 4 1 day, swept eight degrees and disappeared into the sun.
