Name the theorem: (a/p) == a^((p-1)/2) mod p, where gcd(a, p) = 1, p is prime, and a is an integer, and (a/p) is a symbol (not a fraction). Euler Criterion

Name the theorem: (a/p) = (-1)^n, where n is the number of integers from the list a, 2a, 3a, ..., ((p-1)/2)a whose least nonnegative residues modulo p are greater than (p-1)/2. Gauss' Lemma
