Devised in the 19th century, Gauss and Jacobi Sums are classical formulas that form the basis for contemporary research in many of today’s sciences. This book offers readers a solid grounding on the origin of these abstract, general theories. Though the main focus is on Gauss and Jacobi, the book does explore other relevant formulas, including Cauchy.
