One remark on the diff: + src/HOL/Number_Theory/QuadraticReciprocity.thy + src/HOL/Old_Number_Theory/Quadratic_Reciprocity.thy This is a formal regression: a proper name has turned into CaMlCaSe. But that should be easy to correct. Ah indeed. Jaime probably didn't know about the naming

True, but even though I am hardly an expert in number theory, I would imagine that a solid foundation in analysis (especially complex analysis) is very helpful, if not indispensable, in the development of advanced number theory. (the most obvious example is the complex-analytic proof of PNT

That is great news! It’s a pity that our coverage of number theory is minuscule compared with what we have for analysis. I blame John Harrison :-) Larry > On 18 Oct 2016, at 12:11, Manuel Eberl wrote: > > I am glad to announce that as of 261d42f0bfac, Old_Number_Theory is

I am glad to announce that as of261d42f0bfac, Old_Number_Theory is finally history. A lot of the proofs are still quite messy and don't take advantage of the new features we now have in Number_Theory (such as a uniform concept of ‘primes’ and ‘prime factorisations’ for both nat and int), but
