Devised in the 19th century, Gauss and Jacobi Sums are classical formulas that form the basis for contemporary research in many of today's sciences. This book offers readers a solid grounding on the origin of these abstract, general theories. Though the main focus is on Gauss and Jacobi, the book does explore other relevant formulas, including Cauchy.

Theory of differentiation includes all aspects of various kinds of derivates and derivatives, and the theory of various Perron and Denjoy-Perron integrals. Derivative theorems covered are theorems on unilateral (or Dini) derivates. Through a cohesive format, outstanding problems are resolved, new ones are presented, and developments in this field, both past and present, are covered.
