A little bit of fun with Conic Sections
How to draw a conic section using the LOCUS definition with string and pencil
These JAVA applets are fun to watch - you are not required to be able to actually draw the conic sections with string and pencil

ABOVE AND BEYOND - OPTIONAL - NOT REQUIRED
Proofs that slicing the cone actually produces the conic sections that we claim are produced: Using Dandelin Spheres

GRAPHER: The FREE graphing program below runs in Windows (but not Mac)
It can graph IMPLICIT equations, so can graph conic sections without having to solve for y and graph two functions to get the complete graph.
WinPlot Graphing Software (freeware) for the PC http://math.exeter.edu/rparris/winplot.
