Follow the reasoning.
Make room for the definitions, assumptions, and steps that give an argument its force.
About this place
A home for independent thought.
Writing and mathematics share an invitation: look closely, follow the reasoning, and arrive at an understanding of your own.
The project
Two pursuits. One place.
This website is an independent publishing project by Carl Friedrich Gauss. Its writing section is intended for original essays and, in time, contributions from other thinkers.
Alongside the essays, a mathematics academy is taking shape. The aim is rigorous teaching in mathematics, probability, and statistics, supported by recorded explanations, live digital-board classes, and course discussions.
The public site is at the beginning of that work. The first essays are in preparation, the academy is in development, and the free Gaussian process explorer is available now.
