Talk:Carl Friedrich Gauss

Writing a decent page for my own choice for "greatest mathematician ever" is too daunting at this point. I made a few subject headings, but think we should have agreement between a few authors on an organizational scheme before diving in and filling it in. Any thoughts about how to arrange the aspects of his life? Something bugs me about the Wikipedia entry's organization, but I cannot put my finger on it. It might be that I prefer divorcing his work from his life history, rather than integrating it as in the Wikipedia page. Or maybe it is that if I want to learn about Gauss's contributions to statistics say, it isn't clear scanning down the page where you would want to start reading.Barry R.
