This man proved the Fermat polygonal number theorem for triangular numbers.
This man proved the Fermat polygonal number theorem for triangular numbers. A theorem stating that a constructible regular n-gon must have "n" equal to a power of two, a Fermat prime, or a product of powers of two and Fermat primes is named for this man and Wantzel. This man produced a proof of the fundamental theorem of algebra as his doctorate. This man made a large contribution to applied mathematics by creating the method of least squares, and was able to determine a shortcut method for summing the integers from one to one hundred on the spot at age ten. Identify this man for whom the normal distribution is named.
