Disquisitiones Arithmeticae (Latin for Arithmetical Investigations) is a textbook on number theory written in Latin by Carl Friedrich Gauss in 1798, when Gauss was 21, and published in 1801, when he was 24. It had a revolutionary impact on number theory by making the field truly rigorous and systematic and paved the path for modern number theory.

Gauss's lemma is used in many, [3]: Ch. 1 [3]: 9 but by no means all, of the known proofs of quadratic reciprocity. For example, Gotthold Eisenstein [ 3 ] : 236 used Gauss's lemma to prove that if p is an odd prime then
In 2010, Yves Meyer was awarded the Carl Friedrich Gauss Prize. [3] In 2012 he became a fellow of the American Mathematical Society. [11] In 2017 he was awarded the Abel Prize for his pivotal role in developing the mathematical theory of wavelets. [12] In 2020 he received the Princess of Asturias Award for Technical and Scientific Research. [13]
Marie-Sophie Germain (French: [maʁi sɔfi ʒɛʁmɛ̃]; 1 April 1776 – 27 June 1831) was a French mathematician, physicist, and philosopher.Despite initial opposition from her parents and difficulties presented by society, she gained education from books in her father's library, including ones by Euler, and from correspondence with famous mathematicians such as Lagrange, Legendre, and Gauss ...
