A direct derivative bound by would not be integrable, so the earlier theorem cannot be applied that way. Instead, for make the legitimate substitution in the absolutely convergent integral:The tail integral has continuous integrand away from zero and converges absolutely. The fundamental theorem of calculus therefore gives derivative with respect to its lower endpoint. The product rule yieldsThis establishes differentiability carefully without an invalid domination argument.

For , expand . All terms after multiplication by are nonnegative, so monotone convergence permits integration term by term. Substituting and integrating by parts twice givesConsequently the integral is , and the supplied sum gives .

Apply monotone convergence to . Its limit has integral , so almost everywhere. Thus the original series converges absolutely almost everywhere. Its partial sums are bounded in absolute value by the integrable function , and their limit satisfies . Dominated convergence givesAssigning any value on the null exceptional set defines an integrable representative of .

By (ii), failure of divisibility is equivalent to . The positive divisors of are ; adding one gives . Retaining only primes yields

Each nonzero quadratic residue is attained twice as for . Therefore twice the sum of those residues is , which is zero modulo by (ii), since . As two is invertible modulo , the sum of the residues is zero. The sum of all nonzero residues is , so subtracting gives the same result for the nonresidues. Hence .
Pinned article: Introduction to the OurBigBook Project
Welcome to the OurBigBook Project! Our goal is to create the perfect publishing platform for STEM subjects, and get university-level students to write the best free STEM tutorials ever.
Everyone is welcome to create an account and play with the site: ourbigbook.com/go/register. We belive that students themselves can write amazing tutorials, but teachers are welcome too. You can write about anything you want, it doesn't have to be STEM or even educational. Silly test content is very welcome and you won't be penalized in any way. Just keep it legal!
Intro to OurBigBook
. Source. We have two killer features:
- topics: topics group articles by different users with the same title, e.g. here is the topic for the "Fundamental Theorem of Calculus" ourbigbook.com/go/topic/fundamental-theorem-of-calculusArticles of different users are sorted by upvote within each article page. This feature is a bit like:
- a Wikipedia where each user can have their own version of each article
- a Q&A website like Stack Overflow, where multiple people can give their views on a given topic, and the best ones are sorted by upvote. Except you don't need to wait for someone to ask first, and any topic goes, no matter how narrow or broad
This feature makes it possible for readers to find better explanations of any topic created by other writers. And it allows writers to create an explanation in a place that readers might actually find it.Figure 1. Screenshot of the "Derivative" topic page.

Source. - local editing: you can store all your personal knowledge base content locally in a plaintext markup format that can be edited locally and published either:This way you can be sure that even if OurBigBook.com were to go down one day (which we have no plans to do as it is quite cheap to host!), your content will still be perfectly readable as a static site.
- to OurBigBook.com to get awesome multi-user features like topics and likes
- as HTML files to a static website, which you can host yourself for free on many external providers like GitHub Pages, and remain in full control
