This category contains results named for Adrien-Marie Legendre.
French mathematician, focusing in the fields of statistics, abstract algebra, number theory and analysis.
His work formed the basis for work by many others, including Gauss and Abel.
Gave an early proof of Fermat's Last Theorem for $n = 5$.
Attempted a proof of the Law of Quadratic Reciprocity in $1785$, but it was flawed. It was eventually proven by Gauss in $1798$.
