ajb Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 I just traced my mathematical genealogy. That is I looked up my PhD supervisors' supervisor and so on... This can be done using the Mathematics genealogy Project. It turns out that I am a direct descendant of Carl Gauss (9th generation). Of course it posed the question if just about all mathematicians are "related" to Gauss. Those who are not, are probably "related" to Euler. Anyway, it was something I did not realise.
