Legendre's conjecture

Legendre's conjecture, proposed by Adrien-Marie Legendre, states that there is a prime number between and for every positive integer . The conjecture is one of Landau's problems (1912) on prime numbers; as of 2022, the conjecture has neither been proved nor disproved. Unsolved problem in mathematics: Does there always exist at least one prime between and ? (more unsolved problems in mathematics) (Wikipedia).

Theory of numbers: Jacobi symbol

This lecture is part of an online undergraduate course on the theory of numbers. We define the Jacobi symbol as an extension of the Legendre symbol, and show how to use it to calculate the Legendre symbol fast. We also briefly mention the Kronecker symbol. For the other lectures in t

Theory of numbers: Gauss's lemma

This lecture is part of an online undergraduate course on the theory of numbers. We describe Gauss's lemma which gives a useful criterion for whether a number n is a quadratic residue of a prime p. We work it out explicitly for n = -1, 2 and 3, and as an application prove some cases of Di

[ANT11] Quadratic Gauss sums

Last video, we used the fact that √2 = ζ + ζ⁻¹, for ζ an 8th root of unity, to tell us about the decomposition of rational primes in Z[√2]. In this video, we see that it is also possible to write √q as a sum of roots of unity for all *odd* primes q: in fact, we write down an explicit eleme
