Carl Friedrich Gauss

I enjoyed debating with Laplace.

The curvature tensor anticipates Riemann.

The joy of discovery is unmatched.

A joke on infinity: It never ends, like my work.

The binomial coefficient identities are elegant.

Wisdom from experience: Publish wisely.

The ideal numbers concept was my gift to Kummer.

Art and math both seek harmony.

The distribution of primes is irregular yet patterned.

In reflection, I see a life of numbers.

The aphorism: Math is language of God.

My witty response to a rival: Your error is obvious.

The Legendre symbol simplifies reciprocity.

Teaching is rewarding when eyes light up.

The Gauss-Newton method for optimization.

Life's profundity is in its math.

I laughed at my own mistake in calculation.

The elliptic modular function is universal.

The end comes, but math endures.

Mathematics is the queen of the sciences, and arithmetic the queen of mathematics. She often condescends to render service to astronomy and other natural sciences, but in all relations, she is entitled to the first rank.
