Introduction to Conic Sections and *Conics and Circles Conic sections are the curves which can be derived from taking slices of a “double-napped” cone. (A double-napped cone, in regular English, is two cones “nose to nose”, with the onecone balanced perfectly on the other.) “Section” here is used in a sense similar to that in medicine or science,where a sample (from a biopsy, for instance) is frozen or suused with a hardening resin, and then extremelythin slices (“sections”) are shaved o for viewing under a microscope. If you think of the double-nappedcones as being hollow, the curves we refer to as conic sections are what results when you section the conesat various angles.
