I need some feedback about something that does not make sense.
The parabola and hyberbola can be found in the conic sections. These curves are seen if one looks at right angles to the plane of the section (cut surface if you will).. All math books also say that the ellipse is a result of a conic section, You know i'll be damned if I could ever find a nice ellipise from a conic section with even the least bit of symmetry to it. If you section a cone you will most often get what resembles a plane surface that has the profile of a chicken egg.
Anyway open to you comments
