Intro:

This notebook will take a quick look at the quadratic / square function.

Private:
Nothing really to say.
This is a primitive notebook. Just getting up there.

Square Function:
Sq d x / x x;
x/x x (3.1)
Digits d 8;
8 (3.2)
evalf Sq 10 ;
100. (3.3)
evalf Sq 101 ;
10201. (3.4)
Sq x
eqn20 d x/Sq x CSq x K2 x C ;

x/ Sq x K2 x (3.5)

So, there you have it. The characteristic curve of a square function. A demonstrative quadratic to contrast it
with.
= Solved for the intersections of these functions.
= Start simple, build from there.
