Quadratic
2D/3D

Quadratic is a setting for the FitDegree option for SolveFree and SolvePath. Quadratic specifies a quadratic approximation of each section of the integrand.

Quadratic is generally less accurate than Cubic, but faster.
Quadratic uses quadratic interpolation for the predictor step, and cubic interpolation for the corrector step.
