parabola
parabola , plane curve consisting of all points equidistant from a given fixed point (focus) and a given fixed line (directrix) (see illustration) .

ellipse
ellipse closed plane curve consisting of all points for which the sum of the distances between a point on the curve and two fixed points (foci) is the same. It is the conic section formed by a plane cutting all the elements of the cone in the same nappe. The center of an ellipse is the point... Read more |

hyperbola
hyperbola , plane curve consisting of all points such that the difference between the distances from any point on the curve to two fixed points (foci) is the same for all points. It is the conic section formed by a plane cutting both nappes of the cone ; it thus has two parts, or branches. The... Read more |
