Paper Summary:
This paper discusses the lives of Archimedes and Carl Friedrich Gauss, two of the greatest mathematicians of all time. The paper provides a point by point comparison of their childhood and education, outlines each of their mathematical contributions and examines the influence their work continues to have on the science of mathematics.From the Paper:
"Far more details survive about the life of Archimedes than about any other ancient scientist, but scholars disagree on which details are fact and which are anecdotal. The most famous Archimedes story centers on how he determined the proportion of gold and silver in a crown made for Hieron through measuring water displacement. Since he supposedly made the discovery while in the bathtub, the excited Archimedes ran naked through the streets of Syracuse shouting "Eureka!" (Muir 20)."More papers on Archimedes and Carl Friedrich Gauss:
