The notions of isoparametric maps and submanifolds in semi-Riemannian spaces are the generalizations of such notions in Riemannian spaces. The generalizations are different according to the purposes. We take the definitions as in the Riemannian case. Quadratic isoparametric maps and submanifolds are interesting examples which can be studied in detail. In this paper we study what we call quadratic isoparametric systems. In fact we give a classification of such systems of codimension 2. We use three different methods to show that quadratic isoparametric submanifolds of codimension 2 are homogeneous. The classification of quadratic isoparametric systems is done algebraically. By this we have changed the geometric problem of classifying quadratic submanifolds of codimension 2 into the algebraic problem of classifying quadratic isoparametric systems of codimension 2. The classification of such systems with arbitrary codimension is still open.
