Ellipse, Parabola, Hyperbola

What could a cone, a monument, and the orbit of a planet have in common? Conic sections! Born from the intersection of a cone and a plane, these curves traverse the history of mathematics and shape our daily lives. From Apollonius to Kepler, this issue of Tangente invites you to rediscover the ellipse, the parabola, and the hyperbola, between perspective games, surprising constructions, and exploration of the sky.
