quadratic field

Example Sentences

• "1985, Erich Kaltofen, Heinrich Rolletschek, Arithmetic in Quadratic Fields with Unique Factorization, Bob F. Caviness (editor), EUROCAL '85: European Conference on Computer Algebra, Proceedings, Volume 2, Springer, LNCS 204, page 279, In a quadratic field mathbf Q(√), D a squarefree integer, with class number 1 any algebraic integer can be decomposed uniquely into primes but for only 21 domains Euclidean algorithms are known."
• "The foundations of the theory of binary quadratic forms, the forerunner of our modern theory of quadratic fields, were laid by Gauss in his famous Disquisitiones Arithmeticae."
• "In this chapter, we consider the simplest of all number fields that are different from #92;Q, i.e. quadratic fields. Since n#61;2#61;r#95;1#43;2r#95;2, the signature (r#95;1,r#95;2) of a quadratic field K is either (2,0), in which case we will speak of real quadratic fields, or (0,1), in which case we will speak of imaginary (or complex) quadratic fields. By Proposition 4.8.11 we know that imaginary quadratic fields are those of negative discriminant, and that real quadratic fields are those with positive discriminant."
• "2007, H. M. Stark, The Gauss Class-Number Problems, William Duke, Yuri Tschinkel (editors), Analytic Number Theory: A Tribute to Gauss and Dirichlet, American Mathematical Society, Clay Mathematics Institute, page 247, Since Dedekind's time, these conjectures have been phrased in the language of quadratic fields. […] Throughout this paper, k= Q (√d) will be a quadratic field of discriminant d and h(k) or sometimes h(d) will be the class-number of k."
