About this Item
Description:
Neuware - In the 1820s Gauss published two memoirs on least squares, which contain his final, definitive treatment of the area along with a wealth of material on probability, statistics, numerical analysis, and geodesy. These memoirs, originally published in Latin with German Notices, have been inaccessible to the English-speaking community. Here for the first time they are collected in an English translation.

Synopsis:
In the 1820s Gauss published two memoirs on least squares, which contain his final, definitive treatment of the area along with a wealth of material on probability, statistics, numerical analysis, and geodesy. These memoirs, originally published in Latin with German Notices, have been inaccessible to the English-speaking community. Here for the first time they are collected in an English translation. For scholars interested in comparisons the book includes the original text and the English translation on facing pages. More generally the book will be of interest to statisticians, numerical analysts, and other scientists who are interested in what Gauss did and how he set about doing it. An Afterword by the translator, G. W. Stewart, places Gauss's contributions in historical perspective.

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Softcover. Good binding and cover. Shelf wear. Spine slightly sunned. Owner's name on front end page, else unmarked. xi, 241 pages ; 26 cm. Gauss's "Theory of the Combination of Observations Least Subject to Errors" is his foundational work on the method of least squares, a statistical technique for finding the best fit for a set of data by minimizing the sum of the squares of the residuals. This theory, detailed in two memoirs published in the 1820s and later collected in an English translation, established a probabilistic basis for least squares, arguing it provides the most likely estimates for unknown quantities from noisy measurements. Gauss's work laid the groundwork for modern statistics and numerical analysis by providing a rigorous method to process observational data and minimize the impact of random errors.
