Great contributions to many scientific fields, such as number theory, analysis, differential geometry, geodesy, magnetism, electrostatics, astronomy and optics mathematics", with his profound influence on the development of mathematics and science, Gauss ranks alongside Leonhard Euler, Isaac Newton and Archimedes as history's greatest mathematicians.


1796 was a year of great achievements for both Gauss and number theory. On March 30 of that year, he discovered a way to construct a heptagon. Afterwards, he continued to upgrade and develop modular arithmetic, greatly simplifying many operations in number theory. On April 8, he became the first person to successfully prove the law of quadratic reciprocity.
