As a conic section, an ellipse is the intersection of a cone and a plane whose angle to the vertical is larger than that of the generator of the cone. That is, it is the curve that results when a plane slices right through one of the nappes of the cone. In plane geometry, however, an ellipse is the locus of points in the plane, the sum of whose distances from two fixed points, called the foci, remains constant. At first glance it is not obvious that these are definitions of the same mathematical object. To show that they are, Dandelin peformed an ingenious construction. call V Now draw the two tangents to the circle that intersect at V . Then the points of tangency are equidistant from V The standard proof of this fact is straightforward, but we'll content ourselves with noticing that it follows more or less immediately from the symmetry of the situation. Indeed, if we rotate the above figure about its axis of symmetry, we get an immediate extension to the case of a sphere inscribed in a cone:

My original intent was that knowlegeable instructors would use the movies with their students; of course, such instructors would already know what was going on and would provide their own explanations. However, to my amazement and gratification, many more people other than instructors appear to have found something (or things) that they like hereso explanations may now be needed. Over the next few months, I will try to add some. Bill Emerson, Brad Kline, and I gave an MAA Minicourse in creating and exporting animations like these to the Web at the Joint Mathematics Meetings in New Orleans during January of 2001 and in San Diego during January of 2002. Bill and I also gave a workshop at the Spring 2002 meeting of the Rocky Mountain Section of the MAA in Laramie, WY, in April of 2002. We're always happy to discuss these techniques. Write.

Rita Kós:
Conics and Dandelin spheres
By intersecting a cone with a plane - not passing through the vertex of the cone -, curves of different types can be obtained, depending on the angle enclosed between the plane and the axis of the cone. If the angle is equal to the half of the apex angle of the cone, the intersection curve is a parabola ; if it is smaller than the half-angle, then the intersection is a hyperbola; if the angle is greater than the half-angle, then the curve is an ellipse ; and finally, if the plane is perpendicular to the axis, then the intersection is a circle The curves listed above can also be considered as the loci of points of certain properties. The parabola is the locus of those points in the plane that are equidistant from a fixed point, called the focus , and a fixed straight line, called the directrix. The ellipse is the locus of those points in the plane for which the sum of the distances from two given points - the so-called foci - is constant. The hyperbola is the locus of those points in the plane for which the difference between the distances from two given points - the so-called foci - is constant.

History
Appollonius was the first to base the theory of all three conics on sections of one circular cone, right or oblique. He is also the one to give the name ellipse, parabola, and hyperbola. A brief explanation of the naming can be found in Howard Eves, An Introduction to the History of Math. 6th ed. page 172. (also see J.H.Conway's newsgroup message, link at the bottom) In Renaissance, Kepler's law of planetary motion, Descarte and Fermat's coordinate geometry, and the beginning of projective geometry started by Desargues, La Hire, Pascal pushed conics to a high level. Many later mathematicians have also made contribution to conics, espcially in the development of projective geometry where conics are fundamental objects as circles in Greek geometry. Among the contributors, we may find Newton, Dandelin, Gergonne, Poncelet, Brianchon, Dupin, Chasles, and Steiner. Conic sections is a rich classic topic that has spurred many developments in the history of mathematics.
Description
Hyperbola ellipse , and parabola are together known as conic sections, or just conics. So called because they are the intersection of a right circular cone and a plane.

Tales of Statisticians
Adolphe Quetelet
22 Feb 1796 - 17 Feb 1874
Quetelet was born in Ghent, to a French father who had established himself there ten years earlier, and a Brabantine mother. The son successfully negotiated the upheavals which were being caused by the 1790 transition from the Austrian to the French Republican educational structures in the Austrian Netherlands, showing in the process a talent for the uses to which new institutions can be put. This skill was to serve him well in later life. In 1823 Brussels became again part of the southern Netherlands. Quetelet made contact with the Minister of Public Education, and interested him in the founding of an observatory in Brussels. Quetelet was sent to Paris to learn the requisite techniques. Among the things he learned, from contacts with Laplace, Fourier, and Poisson, was the central importance of probability theory in astronomy. Back in Brussels, Quetelet gave popular lectures at the Brussels Museum on probability as well as astronomy and physics; he added to his knowledge (and his collection of scientific instruments) by visiting other centers; he founded a journal. In 1826, being increasingly interested in the social aspect of his probability studies, he published a paper on the laws of births and mortality in Brussels, and subsequently advocated a complete population census, which was ordered by the government in 1828. In that year, Quetelet was appointed astronomer of the Brussels Observatory (which at that time was still 4 years short of completion).
