Computing	Gauss 1. Carl Friedrich Gauss 2. Gaussian distribution. See normal distribution. 3. The unit of magnetic field strength. 1 gauss = 1 Maxwell / cm^2. A good loudspeaker coil magnet flux density is of the order of 10 000 gauss. (1995-03-18). Source: The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing.
Aerospace	A unit of magnetic induction (or magnetic flux density) equal to 1 dyne per unit cgs magnetic pole.Prior to 1932, the gauss was used both as a unit of magnetic induction and as a unit of magnetic field intensity, but the latter quantity is now measured in oersteds. (references)
