Extra Credit Opportunity!! Due Tuesday 3/20/12

Alright guys, today we learned about the Gauss Solution for arithmetic series, created by the guy in the picture, Carl Friedrich Gauss.  Here is your assignment, for 100 extra credit points:

Create a poster that details the life and accomplishments of Gauss.  It should include as much pertinent info as possible, along with a picture of some sort that is relates to Gauss (it could even be him).  I want you to be as creative as possible and we will present these at the beginning of class on Tuesday.  The best ones will go on the wall, as always!

Again, this is for 100 points!  Rarely will I ever give an extra credit assignment worth this much. Take advantage!  If you have any questions, post them here or tweet me @CoachRushing (it works now).
