For 10 points, name this German mathematician who gives his name to the normal distribution.
This mathematician developed a generalization of the binomial coefficient that gives the number of subspaces of a vector space over a finite field. This inventor of the q-binomial coefficient is the alphabetically-later namesake of a theorem that equates the integral of a manifold's curvature to 2 pi times the manifold's Euler characteristic. This man names a lemma stating that the product of two primitive polynomials is primitive, as well as the aforementioned theorem co-named with (*) Bonnet. This man was the first to use three horizontal lines to indicate congruence between numbers. He was also the first to prove a theorem that sets the Legendre symbol "p on q" times "q on p" equal to a complicated power of negative one, which concerns solvability of congruences of primes. As a child, this prover of the law of quadratic reciprocity apocryphally summed the numbers 1 to 100 very quickly.
