On April 30, 1777, Carl Freidrich Gauss was born into a lower class family of laborers. His mother was said to be highly intelligent however, only semi-literate. His father was a laborer of various trades. His mother was the only person to offer support in his family throughout his life. At the age of eight in elementary, his teacher, Buttner, assigned the class the task of finding the sum of all numbers up to 100. Gauss immediately saw that it was 50 pairs of 101. His teacher recognized his intelligence quickly and supplied him with books to encourage his mental development. .

At age 11 Gauss studied with Martin Bagels, an assistant at the school. He entered the Gymnasium and excelled in all his classes. In 1792 he entered Brunswick Collegium Carolinium, there he thought he had created the binomial theorem for rational exponents and the arithmetic mean. Later on he discovered some of his ideas were not original. At the age of 17 he proved it was impossible to construct a regular heptagon with a ruler and compass. He went on to prove methods of making figures with 17,257, and 65,537 sides. By doing so he proved it was possible to make a regular polygon with a compass and ruler and any odd number of sides.For his doctoral thesis he submitted theorem that all algebraic equations have at least one solution. This had challenged mathematicians for centuries before, now it is called the fundamental theorem of algebra. .

In 1801 Gauss published a book on the theory of numbers entitled Disquisitiones Arthimeticae. Following that he turned much of his attention towards the field of astronomy. In 1805 Gauss married Johanna Ostoff. In 1807 he was appointed the professor of mathematics and director of the observatory at Gottingen, the college he had attended. Gauss was the first to produce a non-Euclidian geometry, however he never published these works, in order to avoid publicity. He created the fundamental laws of probability distribution and made geodetic surveys where he intertwined math and geophysics.
