I gues this will give the wrong result because the calculation of self.b is
supposed to use the original value of self.a, not the newly calculated one.
Similar for self.c. The following should do that:

self.a, self.b, self.c = (self.a * other.a + self.b * other.b,
self.a * other.b + self.b * other.c,
self.b * other.b + self.c * other.c)
