Conic sections
Circles, ellipses, parabolas and hyperbolas as equations and as surfaces sliced.
Slice a cone and you get a circle, an ellipse, a parabola or a hyperbola; algebraically they are the second-degree equations in x and y. Completing the square in each variable reveals the centre and shape. The 3D view draws z = the expression, whose level curve z = 0 is the conic.

Spørgsmål folk spørger
What is a function, really?
A rule that assigns exactly one output to each input. The vertical-line test on a graph is the same idea: no input may have two outputs.
Why do we need complex numbers?
Because x² + 1 = 0 has no real solution, and allowing one new number i with i² = −1 makes every polynomial equation solvable. They then turn out to describe rotation, waves and alternating current more naturally than real numbers do.
