Conics in the Plane: Uniform Description of 3 Conics

This lecture covers the general construction of the 3 conics based on a line and 2 points on the same perpendicular, highlighting the common elements among them. It explains the specific characteristics of the parabola, ellipse, and hyperbola, focusing on their unique properties and equations. The lecture also delves into the eccentricity, optical properties, and bifocal definitions of these conics, providing insights into their geometric representations and parameterizations.
