In algebraic number theory, a Gauss sum or Gaussian sum is a particular kind of finite sum of roots of unity, typically where the sum is over elements r of some finite commutative ring R, ψ is a group homomorphism of the additive group R+ into the unit circle, and χ is a group homomorphism of the unit group R× into the unit circle, extended to non-unit r, where it takes the value 0. Gauss sums are the analogues for finite fields of the Gamma function. Such sums are ubiquitous in number theory. They occur, for example, in the functional equations of Dirichlet L-functions, where for a Dirichlet character χ the equation relating L(s, χ) and L(1 − s, χ) (where χ is the complex conjugate of χ) involves a factor (Wikipedia).

Theory of numbers: Quadratic reciprocity
This lecture is part of an online undergraduate course on the theory of numbers. We state and law of quadratic reciprocity for Legendre symbols, and prove it using Gauss sums. As applications we show how to use it to calculate Legendre symbols and to test Fermat numbers to see if they are
