I take issue with the notation 
for integers modulo n. When n is prime, this notation is used for the p-adic integers, which do not really have any other notation (well perhaps 
, but that's not much different). --ComplexZeta 01:22, 27 June 2006 (EDT)
I also don't like the notation , but that is what most people use on ML/AoPS.

\text doesn't work and \textrm doesn't seem to recognize spaces. My suggestion is to change to symbols. For example, the first Legendre symbol case: $1 \leftrightarrow \exist x\in\mathbb{Z}_p^*:x^2\equiv a\mod p$ (Error compiling LaTeX. Unknown error_msg) Does anyone have a better solution?
