disquisitiones-arithmeticae-meta-errata's Introduction

disquisitiones-arithmeticae-meta-errata

Gauss's Disquisitiones Arithmeticae is available in the original Latin, as well as in two English editions: a notoriously poor softcover translation, $50, and a corrected edition of that translation, marked up to $200 by the villains at Springer.

The publisher of the cheaper edition doesn't maintain an errata sheet, so I am maintaining here a list of errata published on the web for that edition (a list of lists, hence the repo's title).

How to use this document

Each corrected article number is listed individually; search the page for a given article number to find any known corrections for it.


Errata

  • A review by Gordon Pall in the 1967 Canadian Math. Bull. states pointedly that the sense of many of Gauss's sentences is lost due to the generally poor translation. (Available via Google Books)

    • The review contains errata for articles 1, 5, 7, 16, 17, 22, 32, 36, 38, 42, 46.
    • The reviewer also suggests that articles 8, 39, 61 need revision, but doesn't give corrections.
  • Differences between the first two sections of the two translations are collected in this mathoverflow answer

    • Errata are given for articles 6, 9, 13, 14, 17, 22, 23, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 37, 38, 39, 40.
  • An Amazon reviewer mentions that many superscripts were rendered incorrectly in articles 200, 201.
