This package implements the Gauss-Lagrange algorithm to find the canonical form under congruence of a symmetric matrix associated with a real quadratic form. This allows one to classify all real quadratic forms, and in particular to determine whether a given quadratic form is positive definite or not. The package also implements elementary row and column operations on any matrix. Examples and explanations are found in the notebook GaussLagrange.nb.
