Eine vergleichende Darstellung der Beweise?), first published in 1885. It is divided into two parts. The first part presents a very brief history of the development of number theory up to Legendre, as well as detailed descriptions of several early proofs of the quadratic reciprocity law. The second part highlights Baumgart?s comparisons of the principles behind these proofs. A current list of all known proofs of the quadratic reciprocity law, with complete references, is provided in the appendix. This book will appeal to all readers interested in elementary number theory and the history of number theory. 606 $aNumber theory 606 $aNumber Theory$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/M25001 615 0$aNumber theory. 615 14$aNumber Theory. 676 $a510 676 $a512.7 700 $aBaumgart$b Oswald$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0755574 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910299762503321 996 $aThe Quadratic Reciprocity Law$92499544 997 $aUNINA
