Hahaha:

'''Wikipedia''' is a free-content online [[encyclopedia]] established on January 15, 2001. The English language version currently has over 6 million articles, written in 250 languages<ref>[http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/List_of_Wikipedias List of Wikipedias - Wikimedia]</ref> on various topics. Like [[Conservapedia]], it is a [[wiki]] that is written and edited by its users. Under its GNU Free Documentation License (GFDL), anyone can add to or edit the content on Wikipedia.

==Wikipedia and Bias==
Conservapedia has an article that argues that Wikipedia has a [[liberal]] bias. [[Examples of Bias in Wikipedia|This list]] shows some examples of this alleged bias on the English language Wiki. Conservapedia is supposedly "solving" the liberal bias of Wikipedia, while in truth Conservapedia is actually more Conservatively biased than its so-called liberal counterpart.

Wikipedia specifically claims to be an "open" encyclopedia, meaning that some content is unsuitable for children.<ref>[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Schools%27_FAQ#Is_it_a_safe_environment_for_young_people.3F Wikipedia School FAQ: Is Wikipedia A Safe Environment For Young People?]</ref>

Quadratic formula

Hahaha:

The quadratic formula is used to simplify the process of solving a quadratic equation. It is in the following form:

:<math>x = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt {b^2-4ac}}{2a}</math>

In order to be solved using this formula, a quadratic equation must be in the following format:

:<math>ax^2+bx+c=0\!</math>

You simply substitute <math>a</math>, <math>b</math>, and <math>c</math> into the formula.

You can prove that the formula is correct by substituting the formula in place of '''x''' in <math>ax^2+bx+c=0\!</math> and then gradually simplifying the rather complicated formula that results, step by step. Eventually, if all the simplifying steps are done correctly, it will simply to 0. Derivation of the formula is usually done via the method of completing the square.

Pierre de Fermat

Hahaha:

Frenchman '''Pierre de Fermat''' (1601–1665) was one of the two leading mathematicians of the early 1600s, the other being Rene Descartes. Fermat was a founder of the modern theory of numbers, discovered the fundamental principle of analytic geometry (independent of Descartes' work) and helped found the theory of probability (with [[Blaise Pascal]]). By trade Fermat was a lawyer.

Fermat's most famous equation is [[Fermat's Last Theorem]], which was not proven until American mathematician Andrew Wiles published his proof in 1993. Wiles was born an Englishman, but was awarded US citzenship for solving Fermat's equation.
