Hi, For number theoretic purposes, Iwant to implement the following functions a0=Floor[(m0+Sqrt[D])/q0], m1=a0q0-m0, q1 = (D-(m1)^2)/q0 an=Floor[(mn+Sqrt[D])/qn],mn+1=an+qn-mn, qn+1=qn-1+an-1(mn-mn+1) here an = a sub n etc... mn+1= m sub n+1. When I try to implement these in mathematica, it wont allow me to use f[(a_+Sqrt[D_])/q_)]:= .... I keep getting errors. anyone have any ideas? matt
