Hace 1 día · Johann Carl Friedrich Gauss (German: Gauß [kaʁl ˈfʁiːdʁɪç ˈɡaʊs] ⓘ; Latin: Carolus Fridericus Gauss; 30 April 1777 – 23 February 1855) was a German mathematician, astronomer, geodesist, and physicist who contributed to many fields in mathematics and science.
Hace 4 días · In mathematics, the prime number theorem ( PNT) describes the asymptotic distribution of the prime numbers among the positive integers. It formalizes the intuitive idea that primes become less common as they become larger by precisely quantifying the rate at which this occurs.
Hace 2 días · The normal distribution, also called the Gaussian distribution, is a probability distribution commonly used to model phenomena such as physical characteristics (e.g. height, weight, etc.) and test scores.
Number theory is the study of properties of the integers. Because of the fundamental nature of the integers in mathematics, and the fundamental nature of mathematics in science, the famous mathematician and physicist Gauss wrote: "Mathematics is the queen of the sciences, and number theory is the queen of mathematics."
Hace 1 día · The concept is regarded as a fundamental theorem within number theory, and his ideas paved the way for the work of Carl Friedrich Gauss, particularly Disquisitiones Arithmeticae. By 1772 Euler had proved that 2 31 − 1 = 2,147,483,647 is a Mersenne prime.
Hace 5 días · In mathematics, modular arithmetic is a system of arithmetic for integers, where numbers "wrap around" when reaching a certain value, called the modulus. The modern approach to modular arithmetic was developed by Carl Friedrich Gauss in his book Disquisitiones Arithmeticae, published in 1801.
Hace 3 días · The term determinant was first introduced by the German mathematician Carl Friedrich Gauss in 1801. There are various equivalent ways to define the determinant of a square matrix A, i.e., one with the same number of rows and columns.
