• You, too, can write your own solvers. Click here to create a solver on 'Quadratic_Equations'. They will have your name on them. It is easy, too. Click here for more information. Simply go to any section of my site and look for 'Create a solver' link. If you are new, I recommend starting in the "playground" section of my site. You can see the "source code" of other solvers to learn how they are written.
