The least squares problem appears, among others, in linear models,and it refers to inconsistent system of linear equations. A crucial question ishow to reduce the least squares solution in such a system to the usual solutionin a consistent one. Traditionally, this is reached by differential calculus. Wepresent a purely algebraic approach to this problem based on some identitiesfor nonhomogeneous quadratic forms
