The focus of this monograph is on the Jacobsthal sums of the title. These are quadratic character sums with polynomial arguments of a certain simple form. In addition to studying Jacobsthal sums on their own, the monograph explores their role in several topics of number-theoretical interest. A prominent theme is their use in counting solutions to equations over prime fields. Another aim is to construct representations of primes as sums of squares using Jacobsthal sums. Finally, Jacobsthal sums are applied to evaluate other quadratic character sums with polynomial arguments.
