Carl Friedrich Gauss (1777 - 1855) is the eponym of all of the topics listed below.

Topics including "Gauss"

• Gauss-Bonnet theorem
• Gauss-Markov theorem
• Gauss's law
• Gauss unit
• Gauss gun
• Gauss-Krüger coordinate system
• The divergence theorem is also known as Gauss' theorem or the Ostrogradsky-Gauss theorem
• Degauss

Topics including "Gaussian"

• Gaussian function
• The Gaussian probability distribution, known to probabilists and statisticians as the normal distribution, but called the Gaussian distribution by machine learning practitioners, physicists and engineers.

The relationship between the two concepts above is that the probability density function of the normal probability distribution is a Gaussian function.

• Additive white Gaussian noise
• Gaussian beam
• Gaussian binomial, also called the Gaussian coefficient
• Gaussian curvature
• Gaussian elimination
• Gaussian integer
• Gaussian noise
• Gaussian orbital
• Gaussian period
• Gaussian polynomial; see Gaussian binomial
• Gaussian process
• Gaussian quadrature
• Gaussian rational
• Gaussian year
• Gaussian gravitational constant
