MAED 560 Conics

This course concerns the conic sections: the parabola, ellipse, and hyperbola. It covers their basic definitions and equations, from both a synthetic and analytic perspective, including their equations in polar coordinates. It then moves on to consider the conic sections in light of Bezout's theorem, which concerns the number of points of intersection of two algebraic curves.
