Carl Friedrich Gauss: Werke and Individual Papers (Modern LaTeX Working Drafts)

Author record for Carl Friedrich Gauss in the Modern LaTeX Editions of Mathematics Manuscripts project. This page presents selected Werke volumes and individual passages as modern LaTeX working reader PDFs, with source TeX, component PDFs, compile outputs, source references, and audit reports preserved in ZIP artifacts.

Status at a glance.

• Reader PDFs: Substantial working surface: eight broad front-facing readers are present, totaling more than 3,000 pages: Werke Bands I, I alternate, II, III, VI, VII, XI Part I, and an individual-papers grouping.
• Band II source-checked cumulative: Limited active coverage: this update adds paired original-language and English readers for Werke Band II from the actual beginning through printed page 303, including the start of Theoria residuorum biquadraticorum. Commentatio secunda, Articles 24-29, the accepted forward cumulative material, the first Latin Nachlass section, De nexu [IX]-[X], and Dedekind remarks to De nexu through printed page 303.
• Current repair incorporation: Broad working surface: the cumulative rebuild includes repaired and source-checkable supplements for Disquisitiones Arithmeticae gaps, Band I alternate expansion, Band II quadratic reciprocity and Seeber material, Band III AGM formulas, Band VI chapters 8/10/11/13, Band VII chapter/article repairs, and Band XI Part I recovered material.
• Source artifacts: Substantial working surface: TeX sources, component PDFs, compile logs, source-page references, scan witnesses, render images, and audit reports are preserved in artifact ZIPs for inspection and continuation.
• Proofreading state: Limited active coverage: machine-assisted working drafts needing source comparison, theorem/reference checking, and mathematical proofreading.

Source-quality refresh. A local 2026-06-14 audit found that future Gauss continuation should use the coherent GDZ Werke source PDFs plus IIIF manifests across Bands I-XII as the baseline. Older IA/Rich/Google PDFs and broad old reader PDFs are fallback/provenance unless a specific tranche is re-audited. The old reader PDFs should not be treated as globally completed editions.

Quality note. This is not a critical edition and not a certified critical edition. Treat each package as working draft/source-witness material unless a later page-level audit explicitly promotes the range.

Use of this record. The top-level PDFs are intended for direct reading and download. ZIP files are for reconstruction, repair, and provenance. Large raw preservation remains on the main project record rather than being re-uploaded here.
