Untitled[edit]

I was hoping to learn the pronunciation of Gaussian: Gowsian or gorshian? I've heard it both ways. 59.167.0.133 11:55, 11 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Neither. Gauss rhymes with louse, and Gaussian is the same with the normal pronunciation of the -ian ending. In IPA, [ˈgaʊsɪən]. Algebraist 11:43, 4 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Gauss gun vs rifle[edit]

Listed here as Gauss gun, linking to the coilgun article which gives the primary alternate term as Gauss rifle. Which should be used here? --64.236.208.27 (talk) 20:51, 17 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Both things exist as far as I'm concerned. One uses a number of coils to accelerate a load, the other one uses two powered rails and the Lorentz effect. Don't cite me though. --FUZxxl (talk) 10:51, 18 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Better organization needed[edit]

Currently, the first two chapters are organized by what word ("Gauss, "Gaussian", "function" or "map") occurs in the topic. That provides no valuable information, as anyone can simply type that name in the search box to get the same otherwise unorganized results; we don't need an article for that. To make this article somewhat useful, I will therefore try to arrange the topics in a topical way. ◄ Sebastian 08:49, 30 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Mont Gaussier, France[edit]

Was this mountain named after him? 2001:569:FCDC:7800:B9D5:A881:B198:5520 (talk) 15:17, 28 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Following fr:Mont Gaussier in the French Wikipedia, the origin of the name is of the 11th century. --Dioskorides (talk) 17:54, 28 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
