Gauss:
"Gauss | Gauss |
 (gous), n. So named after Karl F. Gauss, a German
   mathematician.

    1. (Elec.) The C.G.S. unit of density of magnetic field,
      equal to a field of one line of force per square
      centimeter, being thus adopted as an international unit at
      Paris in 1900; sometimes used as a unit of intensity of
      magnetic field. It was previously suggested as a unit of
      magnetomotive force.
      Webster 1913 Suppl.

   2. Karl F. Gauss, a German mathematician.
      PJC"

C.G.S.:
"cgs
     n : system of measurement based on centimeters and grams and
seconds syn: cgs system"
