'Prince of Mathematicians' Google Doodle featuring Johann Carl Friedrich Gauss to celebrate
his 241st birthday.

Johann Carl Friedrich Gauss, otherwise known as the
“Prince of Mathematicians”.

Gauss was a German mathematician born on
April 30, 1777
in Brunswick.

The laudable work of Gauss, otherwise spelt Gauß in German, is one of the reasons he earned the nickname
“The Prince of Mathematicians”.

One of the mathematician’s greatest achievements came in 1786 after discovering a heptadecagon,
or a 17-sided polygon, could be made with a compass and straightedge on March 30.

After making such a discovery, Gauss requested a regular heptadecagon be inscribed
on his tombstone when he died.
