even though the algebra is simple and has been known for centuries. So why now? Loh thinks it is related to the way the conventional approach proves that quadratic equations have two roots.

The new method was devised by Dr. Po-Shen Loh while he was trying to think up some test problems involving quadratic equations for the junior high school students he coaches for the USA Math Olympiad.
