[@Calcprof]

For very good reasons, not big telescopes are NOT parabolas. One direction is completely in focus, but the off axis behavior is awful. So there are various compromises. Many big telescope have hyperbolic mirrors. This design is due (in part) to Caratheodory. Some big telescopes, designed for a wide field have spherical mirrors plus a correcting lens. First developed by Bernard Schmidt. Calculus books that talk about parabolic telescopes are ignorant of modern telescope designs.

I took an honors calc class where we studied conics in a ton of detail and it ended being my favorite part of the course. Was so glad we spent time with this awesome subject which built up everyone's geometric skill to the point that curvature, the gradient, area and volume elements, surface integrals, Stokes' theorem and the like were all straightforward later in the course.

[@angleth]

Conics are a standard in my state - not sure why

[@biggerdoofus]

My high school algebra class brought up conic sections, but I don't remember if the teacher actually explained what "conic sections" are. I think I learned the definition of each type by reading the extra notes in the textbook (mainly cause the illustration looked cool), but it didn't cover how to relate the definition to the typical forms of the equations. I think that was left out because the textbook didn't expect students to be able to handle multi-variable functions.

[@programaths]

In old programs, we were taught how to draw the parabola before even seeing equations. So, for us it was the trace of the intersection of a circle growing from the focal and a line moving parallel to the directrix in the direction of the focal. Then we were asked to find the apex from the construction, the to find the equation from those information. Then I changed school and when we had this subject, I was surprised that other pupils didn't even knew what the different parts of the equation had as an effect on the graph. I was using transforms to solve some apex problems and the teacher didn't like it, because it was not something we were supposed to use. We had to use formula! No thanks, I'll try to write it in vertex form then look at the answer. I learned than in English it's called "vertex form".

[@tinkeringtim7999]

I'm loving seeing someone else who appreciates proper constructive geometry. I have many books on these topics. The spherical geometry a 14 year old cadet was expected to know in 1914 would be a struggle for today's university students. For me, Hilbert space is simpler but proper geometry is more elegant.

[@marivcenteno9444]

my past lesson was about conic sections and more specifically the parabola and dang, i independently discovered this while i was coding a parabola grapher, with the same idea of using the distance formula and simplifying it to x²/4p after some time, i realized that it is easily derived from the standard form x² = 4py, then divide both sides by 4p so that would be: x²/4p = y

[@alphastar5626]

[@Happy_Abe]

This was really cool and I’m looking forward to the next part, but what did this have to do with the comic sections and cone part? We only really cared about the parabola shape here

[@Neilcourtwalker]

We learned all of this in the Gymnasium and also that the spheres inside the cones touch the planes in the focal points which is obvious in the case of the circle but maybe not so obvious in the case of an ellipse. And don't you dare comment that I must be old then, flammy, even though it might be true. 😉

I was disappointed.

[@沈博智-x5y]

Locus of a parabola used to get taught in the last two years of NSW Australia '2-unit' mathematics courses. This idea was extended to conic sections in general (defining the conic sections via foci and directrices and eccentricity) in the '4-unit' course. These two contents have since been sacked starting COVID time as the syllabus got shuffled around. e.g. to oversimplify, '2-unit' now gets more statistics content and '4-unit' gets more abstract content like the nature of proof and 2d/3d vector analysis. During the time 'locus' got taught, the syllabus analysed the cases where the parabola had a focus (0, a), as well as (a, 0) with directrix y = -a and x = -a respectively x^2 = 4ay and y^2 = 4ax respectively (i.e. the addition of the sideways parabola) Then of course they started looking at translations as stated in this video too swap x for (x-h) and y for (y-k) for said translations. (Although they did also look at it from the angle where you have a new focus, say for example S(h, a + k) and D y = - a + k, the case for the normal 'vertical' parabola.) (y - k + a)^2 = (x-h)^2 + (y - k - a)^2 which y replaced with y - k and x replaced with x-h so it simplifies to (x-h)^2 = 4a(y-k) So essentially, test questions would ask what the coordinates of the focus and equation of directrix are and students would need to recognise how to use a, h, and k to write down the focus and directrix correctly. (or vice versa, given S and D, write down the equation). Vertical directrices were also fair play (and it's horizontal and vertical shifts) Note: They did not analyse rotated parabolas (e.g. when the directrix is not a horizontal or vertical line) S(x_0, y_0) and D ax + by + c = 0 (this is indeed beyond the school syllabus). Some teachers are glad this content has been sacked, others wish it were still there.

@@PapaFlammy69 The pictures didn't work that well because they were also out of order (although different than the dialog) and without indication of which one was referenced at the time. I think it would have been clearer if you had put up the traditional "*parabola" and "*hyperbola" captions when each correction was needed, along with the pictures-either in the correct order with each highlighted when you discussed them, or one displayed at a time when describing each one. (e.g. When you say "hyperbola", you would display "*parabola" along with highlighting the image of the parabola.)
