05 - Intro to Conic Sections (Circles, Ellipses, Parabolas & Hyperbolas) - Graphing & More.

In this lesson, you will learn about Conic Sections, which is a central topic in Algebra, Geometry, Trigonometry, and Calculus. Conic sections refer to the shapes known as the circle, the ellipse, the parabola, and the hyperbola. These shapes are very special and can all be obtained by slicing a cone in various ways.

In this lesson, you will learn how these shapes can come from cones, and why they are important to telecommunications and orbital mechanics. These are just a few common applications of conic sections in science, math, and engineering.

I witness you reach 1m subscribers and now I want the whole world to listen to how you make math and science madness easier to understand

Jesus christ this 30 min video made me more interested in this subject than any textbook ever could. tysm this video was incredibly helpful

Something was missing from all the other people teaching math topics like conic sections. They seemed to teach "Here's the formula, follow it like this, do this, do that, here's the solution." but my thinking wanted to know why or how, what were the reasons for these different conic sections and how do they relate.

I wish I would have discovered your channel earlier this semester, finals are coming in less than two weeks and there are so many gaps in my understanding that my professor and other youtube videos didn't help me understand. I don't just want to follow the lead of someone who has done the problems thousands of times and skims through them effortlessly with no explanation of the theory or meanings.

Returning back to the classroom after a few decades to pursue a degree has been a struggle, I'll definitely be returning for future topics.

Your teaching helped fill the void my thinking was stuck on. Thank you, your channel will now be my go-to for future topics.

Thank you.

Great explanation . complex concepts made so simple to understand. You Sir are a great teacher. Thankyou so much

[gfragkoudakis]

this channel is a gem. Well done man. Super clear

Thank you for this video series. I found your explanation of escape speeds to be especially eye-opening.

SIR, , You are A GENIUS.... LOVE FROM BANGLADESH 🇧🇩🇧🇩..

[uhgzbyu]

Thank you sir
You always make me understand

[devnshugarg]

Thanks sir for this explanation with so much dedication

[chapterreset]

Watching your videos as a refresher for my NYS teacher certification exam😳😳...any suggestion?
Thanks in advance...your videos have helped so much already 👍👍

how about the orbit of a comet?some come back in regular interval, which means that it is ecllipse?

[tylerackerley]

how do you calculate the circular velocity?

[hemarajue]

Does gravity controls the path of a space vehicle ?

[kristineclaireapostol]

I have a question if you put a paper on the top of the cone what kind of conic section will be form?, Im still cofused

[talibanchristian]

why aren't these videos up on your site?

[super_nova]

My lecturer warned me about this . Thats why am here 😂😂

take note, if we equate Earth's Ve to our car, then 11.2 / sec = 672 mi/hr :: that is fast (just to escape Earth's gravity)
