Carl+Gauss+realscientist

Carl Gauss is the best example of a real scientist.



Carl Gauss is the best example of a real scientist. He was a child prodigy. When he was 3-years-old, he corrected his fathers paper while he was calculating finances. He made his first big math discovery as a teenager. He was a big perfectionist. He would not publish work that he did not consider was above criticism. His diaries say that he made many more important discoveries that were not published for decades. They estimated that if he would have published all his discoveries when he discovered them, then he would've advanced math by fifty years.

I think that Carl Gauss was the best example of a real scientist because he was a perfectionist and I think all real scientists are perfectionists. He was too big of a perfectionist though which forced him to not publish all of his work.
