Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story:A mathematician at Carnegie Mellon University has developed an easier way to solve quadratic equations. A mathematician has derived an easier way to solve quadratic equation problems, according to MIT’s Technology Review. Quadratic equations are polynomials that include an x², and teachers use them to teach students to find two solutions at once. Quadratic equations fall into an interesting donut hole in education. It’s still complicated, but it’s less complicated, especially if Dr. Loh is right that this will smooth students’s understanding of how quadratic equations work and how they fit into math.
