👉 The Gaussian distribution is a continuous probability distribution that arises naturally in many areas of science and engineering. It is named after its inventor, Carl Friedrich Gauss (1777-1855), who introduced it as a way to describe the normal distribution of random variables.
In simple terms, the Gaussian distribution has two key properties:
1.
Normality
: The Gaussian curve is symmetric about the mean (mean) and is bell-shaped around zero.
2.
Shape
: It is symmetric
