Laplace distribution vs Gaussian distribution error

[crbates]

In section 1.4 it says: "It is also called the Gaussian distribution (named for mathematician Carl Friedrich Gauss) or, if you are French, the Laplacian distribution (named for Pierre-Simon Laplace). " The Laplace distribution is not the same as a Gaussian distribution even in french http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loi_de_Laplace_(probabilit%C3%A9s). The laplace distribution is a double exponential which is distinctly different from a Gaussian.
