Carl Friedrich Gauß und Christopher Hansteen
Der Briefwechsel beider Gelehrten im historischen Kontext
von Karin Reich und Elena RoussanovaThe Göttingen mathematician Carl Friedrich Gauss and the Norwegian astronomer and physicist Christopher Hansteen engaged in a lively correspondence, which lasted from 1832 until Gauss’s death in 1855. For the first time, this book offers a critical edition of the surviving letters. A key theme is research on the earth’s magnetism, a field within the newly emerging discipline of geophysics.
