comment What’s the “best” proof of quadratic reciprocity?
I agree that this particular proof is better than using Gauss' Lemma - similar in style, but less annoying - and gives a great chance to mention Eisenstein in a number theory class with no algebra prerequisites. I use it now myself, and relegate Gauss to an appendix.
