Carl Friedrich Gauss
Lived 1777 – 1855.
Carl Friedrich Gauss was the last man who knew of all mathematics.
He was probably the greatest mathematician the world has ever known – although perhaps Archimedes, Isaac Newton, and Leonhard Euler also have legitimate claims to the title.
Gauss’s published works are remarkable. At the age of just 21 he wrote Disquisitiones Arithmeticae, whose importance to number theory has been likened to the importance of Euclid’s Elements to geometry.
In addition to mathematics, Gauss made powerful contributions to a wide range of mathematical and physical sciences including astronomy, optics, electricity, magnetism, statistics, and surveying.

Answer:
Gauss published works on number theory, the mathematical theory of map construction, and many other subjects. In the 1830s he became interested in terrestrial magnetism and participated in the first worldwide survey of the Earth's magnetic field (to measure it, he invented the magnetometer).
