In order to predict the location of Ceres, this scientist created the method of least squares approximation, and he probably beat Bolyai to inventing non- Euclidean geometries.
Due this man's reliance on the then-unproven Jordan Curve Theorem, he wasn't technically the first to prove the fundamental theorem of algebra. In order to predict the location of Ceres, this scientist created the method of least squares approximation, and he probably beat Bolyai to inventing non- Euclidean geometries. The differential form of a law named for him says rho over epsilon-nought equals del dot E. This man, who proved quadratic reciprocity, requested a 17-sided polygon inscribed on his gravestone after he proved it could be constructed. For 10 points, name this mathematician, who is also the namesake of two of Maxwell's equations.
