understandable to all
That what jumps my mind approximately Disquisitiones of the gauss is that he is comprehensible from popular as me that advanced low priority in the mathematics does not have one. You just necessity to move slowly and with attention with it. There is sure joy that comes with making the discoveries that the gauss it walks you through. A book that will change your perspective on life increasing that what you see like the numbers of bottom and the mathematics of base philosophy. The wizards of Mathemtical as Euler and Lagrance as soon as they will confuse them and dazzle with theirs make up, but the gauss he will give them that understood.


Martin Christensen"s Review
This book is very good, but not quite excellent. Gauss spent, in my opinion, too much time on the theory of binary forms and too little on the general second-degree equation in two variables that the theory is such a big part of. However, the rest of the book was first-rate, well suited to one of the greatest mathematicians of all time. I considered it money well spent.


Choose your edition carefully
That is a large book. It is the place in which the modern theory of number it begins. Moreover enough good it is written that it is amusing to read today. There are two editions and you must choose with attention. I do not know if my review will appear on both editions or hardly. The softcover it is only $47. The hardcover it is $129, but is one MODIFIED translation. A single person, than does not seem being has been a mathematician, has made the first translation from Latin in 1965. That one has been modified from one square of 4 erudites in 1986. That one turns out to be important, because the translator originates has obtained them some wrong things, like logic of double negation. Therefore there are some places in which (the before more little expensive one, softcover, Yale) edition is wrong or little clear. Many of these problems have been repair to you in second (the most expensive one, hardcover, Springer-Verlag) edition. I have bought the first edition and I do not have sorrow, but you will obtain the additional value for your additional moneies if bought the second edition.


Not bad for 204 years old.
The gauss Disquisitiones between 1795 and 1801 has written. If I can read and to understand the translation of the Clarke in little time that has taken the gauss in order to write originates it them, I will do good. The mathematics has not been replaced and the historical function is extremely important.


Professor
It is the better book for the people that take the mathematics seriously


Definitely a classic!
Reading the works of Euler, Gauss, Galois, etc., may seem out of fashion sometimes and in this case this book could be regarded as a little out of date. Nevertheless, always keep on mind Abel's wise words: "Read the masters"! There are plenty of things Gauss may be able to tell us yet.


The best book of all time
One of the most important books in the history of human thought, and certainly among the top five in the history of mathematics, by the most important mathematician ever. I enjoy reading Gauss' own methods. Especially interesting if you study congruences, cyclotomy, etc.
