Procreare iucundum, sed parturire molestum. (Gauss, sec.
Eisenstein) The plan of this book was first conceived eight years
ago. The manuscript developed slowly through several versions until
it attained its present form in 1979. It would be inappropriate to
list the names of all the friends and advisors with whom I
discussed my various drafts but I should like to mention the name
of Mr. Gary Cornell who, besides discussing with me numerous
details of the manuscript, revised it stylistically. There is much
interest among mathematicians to know more about Gauss's life, and
the generous help I received has certainly more to do with this
than with any individual, positive or negative, aspect of my
manuscript. Any mistakes, errors of judgement, or other
inadequacies are, of course, the author's responsi bility. The most
incisive and, in a way, easiest decisions I had to make were those
of personal taste in the choice and treatment of topics. Much had
to be omitted or could only be discussed in a cursory way."
