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.
