Enumeration of reduced binary quadratic forms

For a reduced form of negative discriminant $D$, the inequalities imply $3a^2\le |D|$. One can therefore enumerate all classes by checking the finite setand retaining integral $c=(b^2-D)/(4a)$ with $a\le c$ and the boundary sign convention.

The reduced positive definite triples are $(1,0,11)$, $(2,2,6)$ and $(3,\pm 2,4)$. The imprimitive middle form represents only even numbers; the two last forms have identical value sets after reversing one variable.

The two reduced positive definite integral forms of discriminant $-35$ areFor a prime $p>7$, the first represents $p$ exactly whenand the second represents $p$ exactly when both Legendre symbols are $-1$.
