Lisp (or LISP) is a family of computer programming languages with a long history and a distinctive, fully parenthesized syntax. Originally specified in 1958, Lisp is the second-oldest high-level programming language in widespread use today; only Fortran is older. Like Fortran, Lisp has changed a great deal since its early days, and a number of dialects have existed over its history. Today, the most widely known general-purpose Lisp dialects are Common Lisp and Scheme.
In algebra, the discriminant of a polynomial is an expression which gives information about the nature of the polynomial's roots. For example, the discriminant of the quadratic polynomial is Here, if Δ > 0, the polynomial has two real roots, if Δ = 0, the polynomial has one real root, and if Δ < 0, the polynomial has no real roots. The discriminant of the cubic polynomial is The discriminant of a quartic is significantly longer, with 16 terms. A polynomial has a multiple root (i.e.
