By explicit studying on theta-multipliers (i.e. the multipliers which appear in theta-transformation formulas under general modular substitutions), we can naturally get the reciprocity law of Gauss sums or quadratic residue symbols. This remarkable fact, by Cauchy, Kronecker, Hecke and others, is very classical, but its theoretical meaning has not been sufficiently clear yet.
