Gauss? Chun was stunned.
There is only one Gauss in mathematics! His historical impact is on par with Newton and Euler. When it comes to Gauss's specific achievements, Chun learned about them when he impatiently read children's introductory books to Fan. Although Chun considers himself an academic star from his student days, he can't even compare to Gauss in the field of mathematics.
Precisely because Gauss was so strong that no one in his era could engage with him in discussion, his personality became proudly aloof and unattainable, and he did not establish any academic school nor had any students. There was once a young compatriot who cracked a math problem he thought was impressive and sent it to Gauss, hoping to get closer to him.
But Gauss remained unapproachable. Because Gauss's mathematics was all about practical application, he constantly explored results in the forefront fields of astronomy, measurement, magnetism, and was indifferent to number games.
