Quadratic equations started around 3000 B.C. with the Babylonians. They were one of the world’s first civilisation,
and came up with some great ideas like agriculture, irrigation and writing. There were many reasons why
Babylonians needed to solve quadratic equations. For example to know what amount of crop you can grow on

Due to COVID-19, Masks are a key measure to suppress transmission and save lives. Masks should be used as part of a
comprehensive 'Do it all!' approach including physical/social distancing, avoiding crowded and closed areas and close-
contact settings, having good ventilation, cleaning hands on a regular basis, etc. So the demand for masks is increasing
