Excerpt from Elementary Conics
IF a straight line and a point be given in position in a plane, and if a point move in a plane In such a manner that its distance from the given point always bears the same ratio to its distance from the given line, the curve traced out by the moving point is called a Conic Section.
The fixed point is called the Focus, and the fixed line the Directrix of the conic section.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book provides a comprehensive and accessible guide to conic sections, a set of curves that arise in a wide range of mathematical and scientific applications. Conic sections are defined as the curves created when a plane intersects a cone, and they include circles, ellipses, parabolas, and hyperbolas. The book begins by explaining the basic properties of conic sections, including their equations, graphs, and foci. The author then explores more advanced topics, such as the use of conic sections in geometric constructions, the calculation of areas and volumes of conic sections, and the application of conic sections to projectile motion and orbital mechanics. Throughout the book, the author provides numerous examples and exercises to help readers understand the material. This book is a valuable resource for students of mathematics, physics, and engineering, as well as for anyone interested in learning more about conic sections.
