Today is Carl Friedrich Gauss's 244th birthday. He revolutionized nearly every area of mathematics and made breakthrough contributions to our understanding of electricity and magnetism. He calculated the orbits of Ceres and Pallas. He was an inventor and created devices to measure electricity, magnetism, and the shape of the earth (heliotrope). Could you imagine doing all of this before there were computers? Happy birthday Gauss!
