| 2. | The conic sections of the Euclidean plane have many distinguishing properties.
|
| 3. | He studied conic sections, cubic equations and problems of artillery.
|
| 4. | An ellipse is a conic section that does not intersect this line.
|
| 5. | See the section Conic section and quadratic form, above.
|
| 6. | In his " Treatise on the Conic Sections"
|
| 7. | Several familiar concepts concerning conic sections are directly related to this polarity.
|
| 8. | A conic section has one Dandelin sphere for each focus.
|
| 9. | The above relation between r and \ theta describes a conic section.
|
| 10. | So, can there be sines for other conic sections as well?
