Do all the brackets here represent the Legendre symbol? If so, it should say so!

No, only the ones in the definition (and it's stated there). The other brackets represent Jacobi symbols.

is it just me or rule #10 is wrong since it should be stated that m,n must be relativly prime? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 217.132.13.228 (talk • contribs) 06:15, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

It's OK. If m and n share a factor, then both sides of the equation are zero. -- EJ 10:09, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] rewrite

I rewrote the page, added references, explained in more detail just what Jacobi added to teh calculateon of (a|p) Virginia-American (talk) 21:38, 2 March 2008 (UTC)
