A Biography

Summary:
Hubert Mania recounts in this first comprehensive biography the story of a brilliant scientist and an entire era. In a world of upheaval between the French Revolution and industrialization, Gauss lived and worked in complete seclusion. Yet, like few others, he revolutionized our view of the world. With his concept of non-Euclidean geometry, he created the indispensable foundation for Einstein's General Theory of Relativity. This is a brilliantly written biography of the world-famous yet so unknown genius Carl Friedrich Gauss.

About the Author:
