Section 2.6, due on September 22

I did not quite understand the proof in regards to the Gauss sum. I did not quite follow how it all worked together. I understood where the p-1 / 2 was coming from, but not much past that.

However, the geometric proof I thought was quite good. It made the Gauss sum make more sense in my mind. The alternate proof shed some good light on the subject, sort of like how the alternate proof of the summing of the phi function in regards to cyclic generators shed light on what was happening.
