misleading sentence
[edit]The sentence "The general form of such an equation is ax^2 + bxy + cy^2" is misleading since this is only a binary quadratic form, i.e. in two variables. Hilbert clearly mentions the case of any number of variables. Also this is a form not an equation. It would be better to change this to: "In the case of two variables, the general form of such a quadratic form is ax^2 + bxy + cy^2" — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A01:E0A:24:2900:AA02:A512:6316:53D9 (talk) 11:55, 13 January 2021 (UTC)
