Blamp Head’s Reviews > Practical Conic Sections: The Geometric Properties of Ellipses, Parabolas and Hyperbolas > Status Update

Incredibly quaint little old book. It's talking about how to draw different conic sections (including ellipses, hyperbolas, etc) using pen and paper, with string/compass as aids as necessary. Also describing how using a torch you can create these shapes.
Funny enjoying this take on it. When doing my degree I thought conics was probably the most boring subject I did.
Still, only for those keen on dry simple maths.
