gaussfacts: The Greatest Mathematician Since Antiquity
Motivation
This package displays randomly-chosen facts about
Carl Friedrich Gauss,
based on the collection curated by Mike Cavers via the
gaussfacts web site. Each call of gaussfacts()
displays another (randomly chosen) fact.
Example
R> library(gaussfacts) # load the package
R> set.seed(1) # so that this is predictable
R> gaussfact()
Gauss can shave with Occam's razor.
