This week I read about Gauss and I was very interested in how he made some important discoveries. This quote went on to say that he went on discover the differential geometry of curved surfaces. It is interesting to think that if he hadn't been working on such a tedious/time wasting project, he wouldn't have made one of "the great ideas of science". Although I had never heard of Gauss, I do know about Einstien's theory of relativity and how important it is. I think everything is built upon something else, especially in math and science. My question is did he like doing this tedious task in the first place? and where did he begin to think about circles instead of triangles?, What triggered him to think outside the box and create a new idea?
