<GPL3> [AS] Quadratic Equation Solver 1.0

[dooglehead]

This is the first app that i made. It solves quadratic equations using the quadratic formula. To use it, just enter the values for a, b, and c, and press enter. It can give both real and complex solutions, but it may not reduce fractions in complex answers. For example: if you enter 1 for a, 4 for b and 5 for c, it will give the solutions
(-4-2i)/2 and (-4+2i)/2, but it can be reduced to -2-i and -2+i.

Update: version 1.01 - fixed a bug that made it so a decimal point cannot be entered after entering another number with a decimal point. (2/6/10)

Update: version 1.02 - prevents user from entering only ".", "-", and "-.". It will also now reduce fractions. (2/7/10)

Update: version 1.03 - fixed a rounding problem and made it so that a complex solution will always include a single + or - instead of +- or --. (2/11/10)

Nice job! Im sure it will prove handy in my math crammed semesters to come.

Added an update to fix a bug.

Err...this would have come in handy a while ago lol thx

Also the download does not work

The download works when I try it. Is anyone else having downloading problems?

I just checked and both links would appear to be operational.

This looks rather useful - what would be even better is a basic CAS implementation that supports entering expressions and applying simplification rules.

Error 2600. The package contains files that should not be trusted.

Anyone know what this means?

Did you install zune extensions for xna? If not, you can download them here. If that is not the problem then I do not know what it is.

I made an account on this site just so I could comment on here. THANK YOU. There as so many times in my chem class, since we just got into equilibrium problems that deal with quadratic, that since the problem is already 3 pages long and one of the last steps is throw some numbers in the quadratic.....this will help and save me a bit of ink. Thanks a lot
