Talk:Carl Friedrich Gauss
Is it Gauss or Gauß? I still don't know, can someone with deep knowledge of German spellings please step in? -- Jörgen Nixdorf
- "carl gauss" leads "carl gauß" 5-to-1 on Google, and "Gauss" is used on many German sites, which suggests keeping "Gauss" as the preferred form for English wikipedia. I see "Gauß" in official names of schools and such, which suggests that the article could use a footnote at least. My old copy of Curme suggests "Gauß", per the rule to use ß after long vowels. Note both spellings appearing on the same page at places like http://www.math.uni-hamburg.de/math/ign/gauss/gaussges ... Stan 23:15 Mar 28, 2003 (UTC)
