Disquisitiones Arithmeticae

Created on 2018-06-13; modified on 2018-08-22.

Introduction and contents

The text of Disquisitiones Arithmeticae, by Carl Friedrich Gauss, is being transcribed from a scan of part of the second edition of Gauss’ Collected Works (Carl Friedrich Gauss Werke, Band I, 1870) from the Internet Archive, with occasional reference to a physical copy of that volume. Currently the title page, dedication, preface, and the first four chapters have been completed. Note however that these parts have not been looked at after the initial (but still thorough) cleaning of the OCR, so there may be some small typographic errors left.

The table of contents below was adapted from the one in the book itself (pg. 471). The entry “Title Page” was added.
