Review text

Let \(D>0\) be a quadratic discriminant (i.e., \(D\) is not a square and \(D \equiv 0\) or 1 mod 4). Let \(g(D)\) resp. \(g^+ (D)\) by the genus number resp. the genus number in the narrow sense. The author proves formulas for \(g(D)\) and \(g^+ (D)\) in an elementary way using the language of binary quadratic forms.
