The conic sections, as well as the solids obtained by revolving these curves, and many of their surprising properties, were already studied by Greek mathematicians since at least the fourth century B.C. Some of these properties come to the…
We develop a circle of ideas involving pairs of lines in the plane, intersections of hyperbolically rotated elliptical cones and the locus of the centers of rectangles inscribed in lines in the plane.
This is a paper about triangle cubics and conics in classical geometry with elements of projective geometry. In recent years, N.J. Wildberger has actively dealt with this topic using an algebraic perspective. Triangle conics were also…
Planetary orbits, being conic sections, may be obtained as the locus of intersection of planes and cones. The planes involved are familiar to anyone who has studied the classical Kepler problem. We focus here on the cones.
Constructions and exploration of plane algebraic curves has received a new push with the development of automated methods, whose algorithms are continuously improved and implemented in various software packages. We use them to explore the…
We study the generalized analogues of conics for normed planes by using the following natural approach: It is well known that there are different metrical definitions of conics in the Euclidean plane. We investigate how these definitions…
We present a criterion when six points chosen on the sides of a triangle belong to the same conic. Using this tool we show how the two geometrical gems - celebrated Poncelet's theorem of projective geometry and incredible Morley's theorem…
Omar Khayyam's treatment of cubic equations by intersections of conic sections has often been read as an anticipation of analytic or coordinate geometry. This paper argues that such a reading obscures the conceptual structure of Khayyam's…
Real quadric curves are often referred to as "conic sections," implying that they can be realized as plane sections of circular cones. However, it seems that the details of this equivalence have been partially forgotten by the mathematical…
We consider loci of points such that their sum of distances or sum of squared distances to each of the sides of a given triangle is constant. These loci are inspired by Viviani's theorem and its extension. The former locus is a line segment…
In classical geometry, there is no such well-known and much-studied topic as the construction of conic sections (or briefly conics) from its five points. Its importance in many applications of mechanical engineering, civil engineering and…
The article presents simple analysis of cones which are used to generate a given conic curve by section by a plane. It was found that if the given curve is an ellipse, then the locus of vertexes of the cones is a hyperbola. The hyperbola…
Conics in the Euclidean space have been known for their geometrical beauty and also for their power to model several phenomena in real life. It usually happens that when thinking about the conics in a semi-Riemannian manifold, the equations…
We review, from a didactic point of view, the definition of a toric section and the different shapes it can take. We'll then discuss some properties of this curve, investigate its analogies and differences with the most renowned conic…
We revisit constructions based on triads of conics with foci at pairs of vertices of a reference triangle. We find that their 6 vertices lie on well-known conics, whose type we analyze. We give conditions for these to be circles and/or…
The initial techniques developed in Euclid's Elements, well before the use of the parallel postulate, are reexamined in order to clarify even the most obscure details, particularly those related to equality, superposition and angle…
We construct special conics configurations from some points configurations which are the singularities of the dual of a quartic curve.
This article presents a new way to classify geodesics on a cone in the Euclidean 3-space. This proof is obtained considering our main result, which establishes the necessary and sufficient conditions that a curve in space must satisfy: to…
For a given triangle $\triangle ABC$, we define two sequences of points on line $BC$ and provide their generalizations to real functions such that centers of circumscribed circles around $A$ and adjacent points in subsequences generate a…
Starting from any given rational-sided, right triangle, for example the $(3,4,5)$-triangle with area $6$, we use Euclidean geometry to show that there are infinitely many other rational-sided, right triangles of the same area. We show…
