«KARL FRIEDRICH GAUSS Карл Фридрих Гаусс» - Курсовая работа

Summary

As the title implies the article describes the personality of Karl Friedrich Gauss. Johann Carl Friedrich was a German mathematician who contributed significantly to many fields, including number theory, algebra, statistics, analysis, differential geometry, geodesy, geophysics, electrostatics, astronomy, matrix theory, and optics.

Sometimes referred to as the Princeps mathematicorum (Latin, "the Prince of Mathematicians" or "the foremost of mathematicians") and "greatest mathematician since antiquity", Gauss had a remarkable influence in many fields of mathematics and science and is ranked as one of history's most influential mathematicians.

Key words

Karl Friedrich Gauss

Carl Friedrich Gauss was born on 30 April 1777 in Brunswick in the Duchy of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel (now part of Lower Saxony, Germany), as the son of poor working-class parents.

Gauss's intellectual abilities attracted the attention of the Duke of Brunswick,who sent him to the Collegium Carolinum (now Braunschweig University of Technology), which he attended from 1792 to 1795, and to the University of Göttingen from 1795 to 1798.

He was the outstanding man and made many discoveries. Particularly, in mathematics, astronomy, analytical mechanics.

Gauss advanced the theory of special functions, series, numerical methods for solving mathematical physics. Created a mathematical theory of potential.

He successfully engaged in elliptic functions, but for some reason nothing published on this topic.

In astronomy, Gauss, primarily was interested in celestial mechanics and studied the orbits of minor planets and their perturbations. He proposed the theory of perturbations of accounting and repeatedly proved its effectiveness in practice.

In 1809 Gauss found a way of determination the orbital elements for three complete observations (if three dimensions time, right ascension and declination are known).
