He would blow away his professors worse than Good Will Hunting , but he would do it to every one of them. As others have pointed out, there are an enormous number of things in mathematics and physics that are named for Gauss. Even if as resurrected he had no memory of the things he had discovered in his previous life, it is obvious that he would easily understand them. However, that would only make him a top student at MIT and get him into graduate courses as an undergraduate.
That's where he would really stand out. Time after time when the professor would challenge the class with an unsolved problem, if Gauss didn't solve it instantly, he would solve it within days or weeks. He would absolutely thrive in the modern academic world. He would be able to do much more than he did in his real life. He would be a tenured full professor within a few years of entering MIT as a freshman.
