G. Waldo Dunnington

Guy Waldo Dunnington (January 15, 1906–April, 1974) was a life-long student of Carl Friedrich Gauss, a famous German mathematician. Dunnington wrote several articles about Gauss and later a biography entitled "Carl Frederick Gauss: Titan of Science" (ISBN 0-88385-547-X).

Dunnington originally became interested in Gauss through one of his elementary school teachers, Minna Waldeck Gauss Reeves, who was a great-granddaughter of Carl Friedrich Gauss.

Dunnington was a translator at the Nuremberg trials [Walter Rufus Eagles [http://www.eaglesweb.com/walter_bio.htm] ] .

Dunnington ended his teaching career at Northwestern State University of Louisiana which houses his collection [ [http://www.nsula.edu/watson_library/gauss/ Carl Friedrich Gauss Papers, Cammie G. Henry Research Center ] ] , believed to be the largest collection of Gauss material in the world.
