I have written this for my math class, as it saved me an accumulated time of three hours over a week of homework that involved the quads.
I a posting it here for anyone who wants to use, modify or otherwise use to go ahead and do so. Standard Quadratic Form applies here, Ax2 * Bx * C, and sometimes Ax2 * Bx = C, etc.
Thanks, And enjoy,

says error:

i believe you have a problem with braces.
I apologize, and I have updated the algor
Try this instead, as I've updated the algorithms for solving to be more accurate (nesting issues before) and added new inserts:

}Nice work........
Appears a little too confusing but at the end
no errors....
Thanks a lot for the code.
at which part are you referring to with the difficulties? and feel free to change it to your comforts.
the symbols and all that. A layman who knows only how to read numbers might not
understand all that
