Oct 11, 2012 at 20:52 comment added Jonah Sinick @ Franz Lemmermeyer - Thanks very much! I had never heard of this before. A few follow up questions: (1) When you say that Gauss attempted to publish do you mean that he was somehow unsuccessful in doing so? If so, what was the reason for this? (2) So it looks like he knew the class number formula, but is that what he used to obtain the results that I state above? I would still bet on a lattice point argument in light of the need for character sum estimates if one uses the class number formula approach...
