+That is, unless $\displaystyle{a^{\frac{p - 1}{2}} ~\text{Mod}~ p \le 1}$,
+$\displaystyle{a^{\frac{p - 1}{2}} ~\text{Mod}~ p = p - 1}$, so
+$\displaystyle{\left ( \frac{a}{p} \right ) = -1}$.
+
+It should be noted that
+\( \displaystyle{
+ \left ( \frac{a}{p} \right ) =
+ \left ( \frac{a ~\text{Mod}~ p}{p} \right ),
+}\)
+so a compressed lookup table can be used for small $p$.
