Johann Carl Friedrich Gauss is a brilliant scientists, I am glad to hear that he is teaching in the fall 2007 semester. It was a great idea for the chairmans of the Physics and Math departments to assign Professor Gauss to teach Physics 222 (Electricity & Magnetism) and Math 109 (Algebra & Trig). The rumor around campus is that all his classes are filled up already and registration has only been open for a day.
Professor Gauss is well noted for his law, which is known as Gauss Law. Also, his work involved the Fundamental Theory of Algebra. He said, “ My work involved the Fundamental Theory of Algebra. I proved that any polynomial equations has solutions. From there I introduced the concept of composite numbers, real numbers expressed as a function of complex numbers.”(Johann Carl Friedrich Gauss) Gauss is not only noticed for his mathematician skills, but is also a genius in physics. He said, “In magnetism I found that “the net flux through a surface, regardless of its shape, equals a constant times the net charge inside the surface.” This result is know as “Gauss’ Law.” (Johann Carl Friedrich Gauss) These are the main works that Professor Gauss is well noticed for. This is the reason for the chairman of both departments to assign him to these classes. Now I know why all his classes are filled up already, who wouldn’t want to be taught by a genius.

Since I am Professor Gauss’s favorite student, he has selected me to write his course topics for his physics and math classes. For Physics, since we only have a limited number of classes, I have selected the following topics for Professor Gauss to teach.
1. Electric Fields
2. Attraction and Repulsion
3. Forces In Electric Fields
4. Conductance and Capacitors
5. Electric Potential
The topics to be taught for his Math 109 class are the following . . .
1. Basics Algebra
2. Functions and Graphs
3. Systems of Linear Equations
4. Introduction to Trigonometry
5. Exponential and Loagrithmic Functions

I would like to register for the course Physics 222.
As a computer science major, Physics is not in my primary scope as a field of study. Yet I find it interesting and useful since it provides the means for physical implementation of the mathematical knowledge and theory that make the mere existence and revolutionary progress in computer science possible. It would be an enlightenment and honor to be taught the concepts of electricity and magnetism by no other then Mr. Gauss himself.
