The cover art was inspired by the article in this issue by Teets.
The image contains a grid of possible Easter dates in the Gregorian calendar (March 22–April 25) during the years (rows)
when Gauss was alive (1777–1855).
Easters are represented by large dots and the remaining Sundays are represented by small dots.
Gauss was alive to see Easter on all but 5 of the 35 possible Easter dates, including the earliest possible, March 22, in 1818.
