This is my first of what I assume will be many, many blog posts about doing research. So let’s talk about designing experiments to compare different things — whether that’s the best ice cream flavor or bias in job hiring. In this blog post, we’re going to discuss two separate...

Solovay-Strassen Revisited
After deep diving into quadratic residues and Euler’s Criterion and such, now we can finally just write some code.

Euler's Criterion
We’re so close to being done. Once we get through this, we can revisit Solovay-Strassen and finally understand this.

Jacobi Symbol
As I hinted to with the previous post about quadratic residues, clearly there needs to be a better way than having a data center worth of storage for each value of \(n\) to check if it’s prime.

Quadratic Residues
Why don't quadratic residues like to brag? Because they're too mod-est
