Description
The intention of this programme is to show how the idea of a quadratic form arises in the problem of classifying stationary points of functions of two variables, and how matrices can be used to des...cribe quadratic forms. The programme also shows the connection between the properties of the quadratic form and the eigenvalues of the matrix that can be used to describe it.
