'''Quadratic forms''' are functions expressed as multivariable equations in [[linear algebra]] that have only combined power of two.  When represented by [[matrices]], they have a geometric significance as a shift or transformation in coordinates.

The love that we came to know

They call it Xanadu

A quadratic form ''q('''x''')'' can be written as:

And now
 +
Open your eyes and see

And there you are

A shooting star
 +
An everlasting world
 +
And you're here with me

Eternally

where '''''y''''' = ''A'' '''''x''''' is the vector resulting from multiplying a matrix and a vector (a [[linear transformation]]) and '''''x''''' ('''''y''''') is the [[scalar product]] of vectors.
