This biography of Gauss, by far the most comprehensive in English, is the work <br />
of a professor of German, G. Waldo Dunnington, who devoted most of his scholarly <br />
career to studying the life of Germany's greatest mathematician. The author was <br />
inspired to pursue this project at the age of twelve when he learned from his <br />
teacher in Missouri that no full biography of Gauss existed at the time. His <br />
teacher was Gauss's great granddaughter, Minna Waldeck Gauss. Long out of print <br />
and almost impossible to find on the used book market, this valuable piece of <br />
scholarship is being reissued in an augmented form with introductory remarks, an <br />
expanded and updated bibliography, and a commentary on Gauss's mathematical <br />
diary, by the eminent British mathematical historian, Jeremy Gray. <br />
