What is the most motivating way to introduce quadratic residues? I would like some concrete examples which have an impact. This is for first year undergraduates doing an elementary number theory course. They have done Diophantine equations, solved linear congruences, primitive roots.

I would like to solve this system, which is a sets of non linear quadratic equations, the system needed to be solved can be expressed in general as follow: ϒϒ'C – ϒα = B Where ϒ=(ϒ1,ϒ2,...ϒn)’ is a column vector and ϒ’ its transpose C=(c1,c2,…,cn)’ and B=(b1,b2,…bn)’ are a columns vector And...
