Carl Friedrich Gauss was a German mathematician and scientist who lived from April 30, 1777 to February 23, 1855.
Among his many accomplishments were quickly calculating the sum of the integers from 1 to 100 in the first grade and proving that a 17-gon (or any 
-gon where is a Fermat prime) is constructible. He even asked for a 17-gon to be put on his tombstone.
Gauss has several mathematical and physics terms named after him including the Gaussian integers, Gaussian distributions, and Gauss's Law.
Also, he wrote a series of books that helped with number theory!
