Quadratic equation formula Let us see how Al Khwarizmi leads us through this knot in the Islamic garden of medieval mathematics, and notice on the way how geometry forms the paths in the garden, leading us through the dancing flowers of symbols, signs and formulae. The interested reader may now obtain the modern formula from Al Khwarizmi's formula by dividing the starting equation (ax² + bx - c = 0) through by a and then substituting the resulting coefficients (the a, b and c terms) into Al Khwarizmi's formula. Next Al Khwarizmi chops the bx term in half, resulting in two rectangles (b/2)x, which he then cunningly rearranges along the edges of the square of side x (x²): www.dace.co.uk /al_khwarizmi.htm   (497 words)
