Carl Friedrich Gauss — Werke, Volume II

Complete original-language edition, 601 pages. The prose, formulas, numerical tables, historical notes, contents and mathematical diagrams are editable LaTeX. The eight diagram sources use TikZ paths and LaTeX labels. The historical portrait is the sole raster illustration.

Original wording, spelling, mathematical expressions and source differences are retained. Historical printed-page references refer to the source edition rather than the reflowed PDF. Modern typography and modern geometric rendering are used. See DIAGRAM_NOTES.txt for the diagram conventions and qualified readings.

Build source.tex with XeLaTeX twice. Required packages are listed in common.tex, including fontspec, TikZ and Latin Modern OpenType fonts. The PowerShell helper takes the shared TeX mutex once without waiting and holds it through both passes. On another operating system, run the two XeLaTeX passes serially. Some mathematical font sizes use substitutions, and the build emits spacing and package notices; no clipping was observed in the checked reader.

Historical author: Carl Friedrich Gauss. Historical editorial credits remain in the text. Modern transcription, diagram reconstruction and checking used OpenAI GPT-6 Astra with Ultra reasoning effort. The source comparison and render checking were not independent review; damaged glyphs and historical typeface identity remain qualified.

The archive contains the actual LaTeX build inputs and the portrait. The matching reader PDF is supplied separately.


This is an AI-transcribed original-language edition with AI-produced typesetting. Historical authorship and inherited editorial contributions retain their printed credits. Authorship, source identity and rights notices appear in RIGHTS_AND_CREDITS.md.
