   crlf /ker'l*f/, sometimes /kru'l*f/ or /C-R-L-F/ n.   (often
   capitalized as `CRLF') A carriage return (CR, ASCII 0001101)

   it takes to get you from the end of one line of text to the
   beginning of the next line.   See {newline}, {terpri}.   Under
   {{Unix}} influence this usage has become less common (Unix uses a

From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
   Carl Friedrich Gauss
  
      A German mathematician (1777 - 1855), one of all time
      greatest.   Gauss discovered the {method of least squares} and
      {Gaussian elimination}.
  
      Gauss was something of a child prodigy; the most commonly told
      story relates that when he was 10 his teacher, wanting a rest,
      told his class to add up all the numbers from 1 to 100.   Gauss
      did it in seconds, having noticed that 1+...+100 = 100+...+1 =
      (101+...+101)/2.
  
      He did important work in almost every area of mathematics.
      Such eclecticism is probably impossible today, since further
      progress in most areas of mathematics requires much hard
      background study.
  
      Some idea of the range of his work can be obtained by noting
      the many mathematical terms with "Gauss" in their names.   E.g.
      {Gaussian elimination} ({linear algebra}); {Gaussian primes}
      (number theory); {Gaussian distribution} (statistics); {Gauss}
      [unit] (electromagnetism); {Gaussian curvature} (differential
      geometry); {Gaussian quadrature} (numerical analysis);
      {Gauss-Bonnet formula} (differential geometry); {Gauss's
      identity} ({hypergeometric functions}); {Gauss sums} ({number
      theory}).
  
      His favourite area of mathematics was {number theory}.   He
      conjectured the {Prime Number Theorem}, pioneered the {theory
      of quadratic forms}, proved the {quadratic reciprocity
      theorem}, and much more.
  
      He was "the first mathematician to use {complex numbers} in a
      really confident and scientific way" (Hardy & Wright, chapter
      12).
  
      He nearly went into architecture rather than mathematics; what
      decided him on mathematics was his proof, at age 18, of the
      startling theorem that a regular N-sided polygon can be
      constructed with ruler and compasses if and only if N is a
      power of 2 times a product of distinct {Fermat primes}.
