Synopsis
Excerpt from Conic Sections, Treated Geometrically
When the ratio is one of equality, the curve is called a Parabola.
When the ratio is one of less inequality, the curve is called an Ellipse.
When the ratio is one of greater inequality, the curve is called an Hyperbola.
These curves are called Conic Sections, because they can all be obtained from the intersections of a Cone by planes in different directions, a fact which will be proved hereafter.
