A (very) Brief History of Gauss

In this episode of "A (very) Brief History of...", we cover Carl Friedrich Gauss. He was one of the most influential mathematicians to come out of the 19th century, being the first to give a proper proof of the Fundamental Theorem of Algebra.

As per usual, this video isn't very math heavy, largely just focusing on his life. Hope you enjoy!
