All Germans knew the formula for the Gaussian Normal Distribution because it was featured on the 10- Mark note.

Time Magazine is now publishing articles about Google “doodles”?

Oh, how the mighty have fallen.

Gause was a genius.
Googos is a slimy goofus.
Eff them and the horse they rode in on.

Gauss’ birth is a lot more worthy of celebration than the recent bicentennial anniversary of Karl Marx’s birthday.

Hey, next time they might even commemorate Johnny von Neumann, one of the fathers of computing and a straight white male, to boot!

“Measuring the World” by Daniel Kehlmann - good read about Gauss and Humboldt.

I thought they were honoring Papa Smurf?

Question: Were U.S. Navy degaussing stations named after Gauss’ Italian cousin De Gauss?

The story I remember about Gauss is that as a schoolboy, he was in a class which had misbehaved, so the teacher as punishment told the boys to add up all the numbers from one to one hundred. Gauss turned in his answer after a couple of minutes while the other boys were still busy with their addition, and he was the only one to get the right answer.

He had realized that there were 50 pairs of numbers so the right answer was 50 times 101 or 5050 (1 plus 100, 2 plus 99, 3 plus 98, etc.).

All Germans knew the formula for the Gaussian Normal Distribution

But can they derive it?
