G, unit of magnetic flux density (see flux, magnetic flux, magnetic, in physics, term used to describe the total amount of magnetic field in a given region. The term flux was chosen because the power of a magnet seems to "flow" out of the magnet at one pole and return at the other pole in a circulating pattern,

A unit of measurement of magnetic intensity named after Karl F. Gauss (1777-1855), considered to be one of the greatest mathematicians of all time. See degauss.

1.	(person)	Gauss - Carl Friedrich Gauss.
2.	(statistics)	Gauss - Gaussian distribution. See normal distribution.
3.	(unit)	Gauss - The unit of magnetic field strength. 1 gauss = 1 Maxwell / cm^2. A good loudspeaker coil magnet flux density is of the order of 10000 gauss.
4.	(language)	Gauss - A powerful matrix programming language by Aptech Systems. Gauss is very popular with econometricians. http://rhkoning.xs4all.nl/gauss/index.htm.
