/sci/ - Science & Math

Who is the Gauss of today?

This guy is the proof that you can be a historic mathematician without needing to be an autistic.

Carl Gauss went to concerts and parties all the time. He liked to sing at parties. He got 5 kids with 2 wives. He wrote actually funny letters to his actual friends. He was just the guy everyone would have invited to their parties even if he wasn't famous.

>i don't like math/science AND i think he's presenting it in a scary and intimidating way just because i don't understand it even though his language is completely standard and precise
Are you joking, lad?

>>8775873
not even gonna read the thread because if it's anything other than 58 posts with the word "Gauss" it's not worth reading anyways

>>8646222

he's good

but this is the true GOAT

pretty much accepted among the mathematical community?

>>8587995
pretty close there OP, who know what would've happened if you had landed those trips

>>8554283
what does that say about the people who are for STEAM?

he wasn't

for example the Gaussian Elimination was known by chinese mathematicians centuries before him

why do many say he was amazing at math?

>Gauss
Incredible at mental arithmetic, eidetic memory.
>Von Neumann
Incredible at mental arithmetic, eidetic memory.
>Euler
Incredible at mental arithmetic, eidetic memory.

So, /sci/, why do you even bother?

or is it fair to say every competent undergraduate has already far succeed the knowledge that Gauss had in mathematics?

I was a wee lad, about the age of 8, when God whispered in my ear; "the set of morphisms from a representable presheaf [math] h_c [/math] into an arbitrary presheaf [math] F [/math] is in natural bijection with the set [math] F(c) [/math] assigned by [math] F [/math] to the representing object [math] c [/math]"

And alas, at that moment, I was cursed to bear the weight of mathematics forever

Looking back as I got my Physics degree, I felt the same way. Now, I realize the reason it is built that way. It was to honor the one and only Gauss.

very good sir

have a Gauss for your troubles

Can we get a list of the greatest mathematicians in DBZ fashion please?

I'm not a math person so i can only appreciate these people by imagining their abilities as DBZ power levels.

I would like them to be ranked for their impact on math/everything, and not only for raw intellect, but quality of achievement over quantity please.

I was personally wondering who had a higher powerlevel: Euler, Gauss, Leibniz

These are all i know about in some detail, but please also feel free to say any others and why.

If you want you could rate them separately by intelligence/achievements:

eg Neumann: 100/80

This guy.

Is there any mathematician that comes even close to master Gauss?

Nice meme.

Exaggerated nonsense, the cult of Tesla hits people so hard I had someone actually try and tell me he was magic. And not some retard either, he was studying the same undergrad as me.

He was an inspired engineer with great ideas but farrrrrr from the most intelligent person ever.

People like Gauss, Euler, Newton/Leibniz (depending on your outlook on life), Darwin (I know I will get hate for that), Curie, Me etc etc would be up there in sci and math.

Figures like Alexander the great, Genghis Khan, Confucius, Shakespeare, Homer, J.S. Bach would also be considered rare geniuses in their respective fields and should not be discounted.

It depends what mood I am is as to which one I land on; if I am using pretty much any field on Maths it is Gauss, if I am using genome models to predict phylogeny (which is a lot of the time) its Darwin or Me, if I am listenieng to the Goldberg variations it is J.S. Bach.

You may as well ask "who is the most attractive person in history".

Quibble all you want about the 20th century.

When you da greatest of all time it don't matter.

Gangsta Gauss in da house

every mathematician i've ever known has been at least two of the following:
1: severely depressed and always too tired to care about anything
2: severely insecure about themselves and their mathematical ability
3: hopelessly detached from reality

the only time i've ever seen a mathematician display smugness is through a deep complacency that i believe i have only ever seen in mathematicians
