Chowla's Construction of prime having least quadratic non-residue $\gg \log p$
This paper by NC Ankeny mentions that " S. Chowla has proved that there exist infinitely many primes $k$ where the
first $c_1\log k$ residues $(\bmod k)$ are all quadratic residues".
I recently ...

Legendre Symbol of a Very, Very Large Value
I'm trying to use FLINT (Fast Library for Number Theory) to calculate the Legendre Symbol of the following:
$$\left(\frac{n! + 1}{p}\right)$$
In my case, $p$ is a positive, odd prime (specifically $...
