If the Maclaurin series of f and g converge for |z| < r and g(z) ≠ 0 for 0 ≤ |z| < r, then if the Maclaurin series for f is divided by the Maclaurin series for g by long division (as if the series were polynomials), the resulting series represents f / g for |z| < r.
text: It was almost as a by-product of this work that, in the first Turin memoir, he proved the convergence of the Maclaurin series of a function up to the singularity nearest to the origin (Section 7.5); it was in this context that he created what he called 'calculus of limits', later known as the method of majorants.

We claim that this quadratic form is isotropic, and this gives what we need according to [2, Proposition 4.4].
text: 2009, R. Parimala, V. Suresh, J.-P. Tignol, On the Pfister Number of Quadratic Forms, Ricardo Baeza, Quadratic Forms—Algebra, Arithmetic, and Geometry, American Mathematical Society, page 327,
The generic quadratic form of even dimension n with trivial discriminant over an arbitrary field of characteristic different from 2 containing a square root of −1 can be written in the Witt ring as a sum of 2-fold Pfister forms using n − 2 terms and not less. The number of Pfister forms required to express a quadratic form of degree 6 with trivial discriminant is determined in various cases.
text: The arithmetic theory of binary quadratic forms, which had its origins in the work of Fermat, was extensively developed during the 18th century by Euler, Lagrange, Legendre and Gauss. The extension to quadratic forms in more than two variables, which was begun by them and is exemplified by Lagrange's theorem that every positive integer is a sum of four squares, was continued in the 19th century by Dirichlet, Hermite, H. J. S. Smith, Minkowski and others.
