Understanding Conic Sections: Circles, Ellipses, Parabolas, Hyperbolas by Ariana Layno is a document available to read on EtoBox.

This document defines and provides properties of different conic sections: circles, ellipses, parabolas, and hyperbolas. It states that a circle is the set of all points equidistant from a single point, called the center. A parabola is the set of all points equidistant from a fixed point, called the focus, and a fixed line, called the directrix.
