| Gauss points | <microscopy> The points on the optical axis of a lens through which the principal planes pass. Origin: Named after Karl Friedrich Gauss. (20 Mar 1998) |
| Gauss' sign | <clinical sign> Marked mobility of the uterus in the early weeks of pregnancy. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Gauss, Carl Friedrich | <person> German mathematician, astronomer and physicist who defined the unit of magnetic field strength (CGS units) 10,000 gauss = 1 tesla Lived: 1777-1855. (13 Nov 1997) |
| Gauss, Johann | <person> German physicist, 1777-1855. See: gauss, gaussian curve, gaussian distribution. (05 Mar 2000) |

| gaussian curve | Continuous frequency distribution of infinite range. Its properties are as follows: 1) continuous, symmetrical distribution with both tails extending to infinity; 2) arithmetic mean, mode, and median identical; and 3) shape completely determined by the mean and standard deviation.
