Theory of the Combination of Observations Least Subject to Errors Part One, Part Two, Supplement/Theoria Combinationis Observationum Erroribus Mini

In the 1820s Gauss published two memoirs on least squares along with a wealth of material on probability, statistics, numerical analysis, and geodesy. 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. An Afterword by the translator, G. W. Stewart, places Gauss's contributions in historical perspective.Gauss, Carl Friedrich is the author of 'Theory of the Combination of Observations Least Subject to Errors Part One, Part Two, Supplement/Theoria Combinationis Observationum Erroribus Mini', published 1995 under ISBN 9780898713473 and ISBN 0898713471.
