A telling discussion erupted when I challenged these newsgroups on a
simple result about the negative Pell's Equation and its connection to
Pell's Equation, where posters claimed the result was previously
widely known.

So the result I've been trumpeting showing alternates to Pell's
Equation are easier is something that should be well-known.
Turns out you don't need any general solution to binary quadratic
Diophantine equations.

There is a reason for the discussions I've raised about Pell's
Equation and alternates like the negative Pell's Equation besides
demonstrating a woeful disdain for mathematical knowledge that some of
you have, as the real prize is advancing the methodology of continued

Folks,
I used to love Math as a child.  I studied Math all the way up to my
Engineering classes.  This was many many years ago.
I want to get started again in the exciting world of Algebra and Calculus.

Years ago I discovered that posters would routinely lie to me in reply
and they'd lie about even the most basic mathematics.
But what was remarkable to me was, other readers would side with them,
even on trivial errors.

I'm trying to solve this problem:
"Given that
x^2 + 4x + c = (x + a)^2 + b
where a, b and c are constants:

For me the chilling proof that math society itself willfully lies can
be seen with some really trivial algebra, Pell's Equation and the
negative Pell's Equation which is why I keep mentioning it, as I can
beat up on math society worldwide with this result indefinitely.

The fact that with integers x^2 - Dy^2 = 1, can always be solved by
integer solutions to j^2 - Dk^2 = -1, using x = 2j^2 + 1, is just a
mathematical reality.
The belief that modern mathematicians give a damn about their field

Looks like EMIS has my paper back:

I find that curious enough that I will read replies in this thread.  I
haven't been reading replies to my previous postings, as, what's the

In many statistics textbooks I read the following text: “A models based on ordinary linear regression equation models Y, the dependent variable, as a normal random variable, whose mean is linear function of the predictors, b0 + b1*X1 + ... , and whose variance is constant. While ...

I have been swatting up using a book I purchased, which has a question
about area:
How much will it cost to build a wall round a house that is 25 metres
long and 75 metres wide, if the cost of 50 cm is £10? Your options are
