Who are the three best mathematician of modern times?
The greatest mathematician of modern times is Carl Friedrich Gauss (1777-1855). He is also known as "Prince of Mathematicians", "greatest mathematician since antiquity" and "German Archimedes". According to Felix Klein, greatest mathematician of the nineteen century, "if we seek heroes of roughly equal stature in the history of our science, only two forerunners of Gauss can be considered to have been equally blessed by nature: Archimedes and Newton" (in "Development of Mathematics in the 19th Century", page 55).
What did do Carl Friedrich Gauss do that was so important?
He was the greatest mathematician of modern times and one of the three greatest ever, along with Archimedes and Newton. Gauss defined the modern concept of mathematical rigour, consolidated number theory as an important field and was a pioneer in non-euclidean geometry. He also proved connections between complex numbers,algebra and geometry and built important developments in physics (electromagnetism, optics and practical astronomy). He was probably the last man to dominated the all fields of mathematics.
What is the probabality of flipping three heads when flipping three coins one after another?
The probability of flipping three heads when flipping three coins is 1 in 8, or 0.125. It does not matter if the coins are flipped sequentially or simultaneously, because they are independent events.
How many simple events are in the sample space when three coins are tossed?
There are 4 events: 3 heads, 2 heads 1 tail, 1 head 2 tails, and 3 tails.
Who were carl f gauss children?
Johann Carl Friedrich GaussGauss had six children. With wife Johanna (1780-1809), his children were Joseph (1806-1873), Wilhelmina (1808-1846) and Louis (1809-1810). With 2nd wife Minna Waldeck he also had three children: Eugene (1811-1896), Wilhelm (1813-1879) and Therese (1816-1864).
