35  This function solves a quadraticEqn equation of the following form:
36 
37  a*x^2 + b*x + c = 0
38  x^2 + B*x + C = 0
39 
40  The quadraticEqn formula is as follows:
41 
42  x = - B/2 +- sqrt(B*B - 4*C)/2
43 
44  If the sqrt generates a complex number, this provides the result. If not
45  then the real root with the smallest floating point error is calculated.
46 
47  x0 = - B/2 - sign(B)*sqrt(B*B - 4*C)/2
48 
49  The other root is the obtained using an identity.
50 
51  x1 = C/x0
