COMMENTS
Polya-Vinogradov numbers for all odd primes is A177865, and for primes p == 3 (mod 4) is A207292.
FORMULA
a(n) = max_{0<k<p} |sum_{i=1..k} L(i/p)|, where p is the n-th prime == 1 (mod 4) and L(i/p) is the Legendre symbol.
EXAMPLE
The 3rd prime == 1 (mod 4) is 17 = prime(7), and A177865(7) = 2 (not 3, because the offset of A177865 is 2, not 1), so a(3) = 2.
MATHEMATICA
T = Table[Max[Table[Abs[Sum[JacobiSymbol[i, Prime[n]], {i, 1, k}]], {k, 1, Prime[n] - 1}]], {n, 2, 200}]; P = Table[Mod[Prime[n], 4], {n, 2, 200}]; Pick[T, P, 1]
