Many real life physics problems are parabolic in nature. Parabolas can be shown as a quadratic equation. If you have two variables then usually you can use the equation to find the best solution to a problem.

Also, it is a beginning in the world of mathematical optimization. Some equations use more than two variables and require the technique used to solve quadratics to solve them. I just ran an optimization of 128 variables. To understand the parameters I needed to set I had to understand quadratics.
