Q1 Quadratic Programming

From that well known source, wikipedia:

Quadratic programming (QP) is a special type of mathematical optimization problem. It is the problem of optimizing (minimizing or maximizing) a quadratic function of several variables subject to linear constraints on these variables.

The hard-margin SVM problem is to minimize 0.5w'w subject to (yn(w'xn + b) >= 1.

So is this a quadratic programming problem?
