<s>[INST] Solutions to the Laplace Equation $\Delta u =0$, where $u= \log p$ Find all real solutions to the two dimensional Laplace equation $U_{xx} + U_{yy} =0$ of the form $u=\log p(x,y)$, where $p$ is a quadratic polynomial. 
Solution:
Let $p(x,y) = Ax^2 + By^2 +Cxy + D$ be a quadratic polynomial such that $A, B \not= 0$. Then 
$$U_{x} = \frac{2Ax + Cy}{\ln(10)(Ax^2 + By^2 +Cxy + D},$$ 
$$U_{xx} = \frac{2A ln(10)(Ax^2 + By^2 +Cxy + D) - \ln(10)(2Ax + Cy)^2}{\ln(10) (Ax^2 + By^2 +Cxy + D)^2},$$
$$U_{y} =  \frac{2By + Cx}{\ln(10)(Ax^2 + By^2 +Cxy + D)},$$
$$U_{yy} = \frac{2B \ln(10)(Ax^2 + By^2 +Cxy + D) - \ln(10)(2By + Cx)^2}{\ln(10) (Ax^2 + By^2 +Cxy + D)^2}.$$ 
This implies 
$$U_{xx} + U_{yy} = \frac{2A \ln(10)(Ax^2 + By^2 +Cxy + D) - \ln(10)(2Ax + Cy)^2}{\ln(10) (Ax^2 + By^2 +Cxy + D)^2} + \frac{2B \ln(10)(Ax^2 + By^2 +Cxy + D) - \ln(10)(2By + Cx)^2}{\ln(10) (Ax^2 + By^2 +Cxy + D)^2} = 0. $$ 
I feel like I am not doing this right. Is there a simpler way? Thanks. And also how do I find such solutions.
 [/INST] The solution that is proposed makes use of the wolfram language for symbolic computations.
