Mathematics

Various Gaussian curvatures
Gauss map
Gaussian moat
Comparison between 2-point Gaussian and trapezoidal quadrature.
Comparison between 2-point Gaussian and trapezoidal quadrature.

Statistics

Gaussian copula

Gaussian function and topics named for it

Gaussian curve with a 2-dimensional domain

Knot theory

Linking integral

Other mathematical areas

NCEP T62 Gaussian grid points
Gaussian grid points

Physics

Gauss rifle

Awards and recognitions

Other things named for him

Biology

Gaussia maya

Informatics

Place names and expedition named in his honour

The Gaussberg in Braunschweig, Germany with the Gauss memorial in front

Terrestrial

Celestial

Institutions and buildings named in his honour

Monuments, busts, and memorial plaques

Gauss Monuments were erected in Brunswick and Göttingen (the last together with Weber). Busts of Gauss were placed in the Walhalla hall of fame near Regensburg and in the German Research Centre for Geosciences in Potsdam. Several places where Gauss has stayed in Germany are marked with plaques.

Other commemorations

Germany issued three postage stamps honoring Gauss, one in 1955 on the hundredth anniversary of his death and two others in 1977, the 200th anniversary of his birth.
