20 Mathematicians Who Changed The World

Carl Freidrich Gauss, behind everything we know about statistics

Gauss is considered to be one of history's most influential mathematicians. A German child prodigy, Gauss would later lend his name to an immense amount of discoveries even after his death.

The bell-curved normal distribution is a now central element of modern-day statistics and is sometimes referred to as the Gaussian distribution. Gauss also was interested in the field of differential equations, which are pervasive in modern engineering. He was also central in developing the theorem which established important properties of curvature. He would later co-design the first electromagnetic telegraph in 1833.
