Whew, this one was fun! I learned about an interesting method for finding the roots for quadratic equations about a year ago, discovered by a mathematics teacher called Po-Shen Loh. And I had one burning question! Is it faster than the quadratic formula??

Well, there's only one way to find out! I ran them through a bunch of grueling tests to see just how well they perform!

I've got an e-book coming for this video, and the source code for the testing program too, as Patreon exclusive content.

Thank you all for the support, I hope this is as fun to watch as it was to make :)

Is this New Quadratic Formula Actually Faster than the OG Quadratic Formula? (For a Computer)

In this video we look at how well Po-Shen Loh's new quadratic formula compares to the original, tried-and-true Quadratic Formula in terms of speed. The new formula from Po-Shen Loh certainly looks simpler, but which is faster for a computer?
