1) A young boy named Carl was distracting in class, so his teacher gave him a math problem to solve to keep him occupied: calculating the sum of all numbers between 1 and 100. 2) To the teacher's surprise, Carl solved the problem within a few moments by recognizing the numbers could be paired to equal 101, and there were 50 pairs, for a sum of 5050. 3) Carl Friedrich Gauss went on to become one of the greatest mathematicians of all time, making significant contributions across many fields of mathematics and science.

1. If you add up all the numbers between one and one hundred, what is the sum?Example: 1 + 2 = 3 + 3 = 6+ 4 = 10....How about a clue:100 + 1 = 101 99+2 = 101 98 +3 = 10150 pairs of 10150 x 101 = 5050 1 to 100Release The Potential Within

2. The Story Of Carl Friedrich GaussThere was a little boy named Carl in school who was being a nuisance. His teacher, J.G. Büttner, decided, in order to keep him quiet, she would give him a problem that would keep him occupied so that the lesson could continue.The problem was: “What is the sum of all the numbers between 1 and 100 added together?”This should have kept him busy she thought,but to her surprise he solved the problem in just a few momentsand the class spent the rest of the lesson verifying the answer.

3. The Story Of Carl Friedrich Gauss30 April 1777 – 23 February 1855A German mathematician and scientist who contributed significantly to many fields, including number theory, statistics, analysis, differential geometry, geodesy, geophysics, electrostatics, astronomy and optics.Sometimes referred to as the Princepsmathematicorum (Latin, "the Prince of Mathematicians" or "the foremost of mathematicians") and "greatest mathematician since antiquity," Gauss had a remarkable influence in many fields of mathematics and science and is ranked as one of history's most influential mathematicians. He referred to mathematics as "the queen of sciencesHIS TEACHER SAW HIM AS NOTHING BUT A NUISANCE
