Obituary: Dr Narhari Achar, A Student And Scholar Of The Mahabharata, Sky, And Science

I assumed they would all jump and join my cheering. Instead, I was greeted with puzzled looks and silence.

Finally, one picked up the courage to ask me: “Sir, you mean the Gaussian distribution that we use every day as part of our cutting-edge machine learning and artificial intelligence work is that old?”

“Yes,” I said. “Johann Carl Friedrich Gauss was born on April 30, 1777, in the city of Brunswick, Germany, came up with the Gaussian distribution in the prime of his life in the 1820s, and died in 1855.” ....
