Synopsis

This is unit 4 in a series of 12. The book is about three types of curve, the parabola, the ellipse and the hyperbola. These curves are called conic sections since they can all be obtained by slicing a double cone in different ways. You can see conics in your home too, such as in the shapes that the light from a lamp throws on a wall. Solutions to activities are at the rear of the book
