| Nov 2, 2010 at 4:18 | comment | added | KConrad | In Dieudonne's article "On the history of the Weil conjectures" he discusses the problem of counting consecutive squares mod p and uses sums like the ones in your question. The article originally appeared in The Mathematical Intelligencer 10, 1975 and it was reprinted as an appendix to Freitag and Kiehl's "Etale cohomology and the Weil conjecture". | |
