A computable formula for the class number of the imaginary quadratic field Q(-p), \ p=4n-1

Abstract

A formula for the class number h of the imaginary quadratic field Q(-p is obtained by counting on a specific way the quadratic residues of a prime number of the form p=4n-1. Formulas for the sum of the quadratic residues are also found.
