| 21. | Simpson's rule approximates the integrand by a piecewise quadratic function.
|
| 22. | See the section Conic section and quadratic form, above.
|
| 23. | By 1545 Gerolamo Cardano compiled the works related to the quadratic equations.
|
| 24. | The quadratic equation may be solved geometrically in a number of ways.
|
| 25. | In this case the symplectic form reduces to a simple quadratic form.
|
| 26. | For example, the above with the quadratic formula in display math:
|
| 27. | Substituting into the quadratic form gives an unconstrained minimization problem:
|
| 28. | Quadratic forms and Clifford algebras in characteristic 2 form an exceptional case.
|
| 29. | Since the quadratic form is a scalar, so is its expectation.
|
| 30. | One way of improving the approximation is to take a quadratic approximation.
