Definition
A CONIC SECTION IS THE INTERSECTION OF A PLANE AND A CONE THE GENERAL EQUATION FOR A CONIC SECTION: AX2 + BXY + CY2 + DX + EY + F = 0

By changing the angle and location of intersection you can produce a circle, ellipse, parabola or hyperbola.

CIRCLE

A STANDARD FORM OF A CIRCLE WITH A CENTER AT (0.0) AND A RADIUS R...

Parabola
Is the points in a plane such that each point in the set is equidistant from a line

Ellipse
Set of all points in the plane, the sum of whose distances from two fixed points

Hyperbola
Set of all points in the plane, the difference of whose distances from two fixed points

I died of overexposure to math :D
