The quadratic formula for a quadratic equation in the form of \(ax^2 + bx + c = 0\) is \(x = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}\). The first solution is \(x = \frac ...
Let Q be an n x n symmetric matrix with integral entries and with det Q ≠ O, but not necesarily positive definite. We describe a generalized LLL algorithm to reduce this quadratic form. This algorithm ...
A group of students from a Winnipeg high school are doing the math on pedestrian safety. Laurel Sherbo's Grade 11 applied mathematics class is working on a project to help their schoolmates cross the ...
