This lecture covers the properties and equations of the parabola, focusing on its locus of equidistant plane points from a focus and a given line. Topics include Cartesian equations, symmetry axis, and key parameters such as focus and director. The instructor explains the derivation of the parabola's equation and provides a summary study of its characteristics.
