Choose three \(2\times 2\) matrices \(A_j=\left(\begin{matrix} a_j & b_j\\ c_j & d_j\end{matrix}\right)\) with integer entries having \(c_j\) odd and positive such that \(A_1A_2A_3=-I\). The author shows that the product of the Jacobi symbols \(\prod^3_{j=1} \left(\frac{a_j}{c_j}\right)\) is \((-1)\) to the power \(\frac 14\sum_{i<j}(c_i-1)(c_j-1)\). If \(A_1A_2A_3=I\) the power is \(\frac 14\sum_{i<j}(c_ic_j-1) \). The quadratic reciprocity law is a consequence.
