OEIS A000141: Sums of six squares

We explore Jacobi’s classical formula counting the number of representations of n as a sum of six squares, including how divisors with certain congruence conditions contribute. We’ll also discuss the theta-function viewpoint and Lang’s generating-function identity, and place A000141 in the broader family of sums-of-squares formulas and their historical development from Fermat to Jacobi.
