Abstract

These are a set of notes that introduces the classical Kloosterman sums and proves their basic properties. Kloosterman's bound is proved for the sums which is weaker than the sharp Weil bound. Bounds due to Esterman are also proved and also Selberg's identity is proved for Kloosterman sums.
