Gauss lecture
The Gauss lecture has been an honor given by the German Mathematicians Association since 2001, mostly twice a year , combined with public lectures for a wider audience. It is named after Carl Friedrich Gauß .
For a long time, the lecture was accompanied by another lecture on the history of mathematics .
