Carl Friedrich Gauss: The Prince of Mathematics! (1777–1855)
Welcome to History with BMResearch! In this video, we explore the life of Carl Friedrich Gauss, often called the Prince of Mathematics. From humble beginnings in Brunswick to groundbreaking work in number theory, modular arithmetic, and astronomy, Gauss redefined what it meant to be a genius. His Disquisitiones Arithmeticae shaped modern math, while his least squares method transformed science and engineering. We’ll uncover how he predicted the orbit of Ceres, developed tools in geomagnetism, and influenced pioneers like Riemann. His quiet legacy, from non-Euclidean geometry to the Gaussian distribution, continues to guide the world of mathematics and physics. Join us as we honor one of the greatest German mathematicians in this beautifully narrated historical documentary.
