Abstract
In Chapters 3 and 4 we were concerned with quadratic equations in two variables, but were only allowing ourselves integer solutions. An equation involving polynomials together with the constraint that we are only interested in integer solutions is called a Diophantine equation. In this sense we have been considering ‘quadratic Diophantine equations’.
