REFLECTION Week 1 & 2: Parabolas and Ellipses

Dealing with the first two weeks of online classes was challenging. I was quite nervous at first to learn Math all by myself but as I go on, I realized that I only need discipline to overcome it.

I think of one my strengths is that I am time-oriented because I follow my study schedule and I finish assignments and quizzes ahead of time. Aside from that I can also learn and study the learning guides by myself and I only ask for help when I need it. However, my weakness is that I am easily distracted. 

At first, I was intimidated by the number of learning guides per topic and the topics themselves because I am not familiar with them (except for parabolas). Although I’ve heard the term conic sections before, I wasn’t really familiar with what the topic deals with. Scanning through the modules or learning guides made me more intimidated because of the “complex” equations and theorems I saw. But as I go through and study it extensively, I found the topic very interesting and fun. I would say I did pretty well understanding the concept of parabolas and ellipses. I had some mistakes while dealing with the exercises but they helped me understand the topic better.

7/17/17 - So much for posting every day. Saturday I worked on some simple triple integrals and got a much better feel for setting up bounds. Sunday I started reading up on precalc from the Princeton MGRE review book and learned a new theorem on polynomials. Today I continued with that material and reviewed conic sections.

The Hyperbola.

A hyperbola is the mathematical shape that you obtain when vertically cutting a double cone. Many individuals learn about this shape in high school or college algebra classes, however it is not clear why this shape is important. The hyperbola has a few characteristics that allow it to be useful in the actual world. Hyperbolas are used in many fields to create and anticipate occurrences. In a number of ways, they have benefited human evolution.

The Ellipse.

An ellipse is a type of conic section, which is formed by slicing a right-regular cone in one of three ways. Ellipses are extremely useful in many fields of science and technology. They arise quite naturally in many areas. One example is planetary orbits. Any planet's orbit is an ellipse, with the body being orbited placed at one of the elliptical path's two foci. In addition, ellipses may be used to depict numerous real-world circumstances, such as satellites, moons, and comets, as well as the shapes of boat keels, rudders, and some aviation wings. A lithotripter is a medical device that generates sound waves to break up kidney stones using elliptical reflectors. Ellipses can be found in both natural and man-made artifacts. Ellipses are significant not only in mathematics, physics, and astronomy, but also in a wide range of engineering applications. They have aided human evolution in a variety of ways.

The Parabola.

What is a parabola, exactly? It could very well be the most powerful shape our world has ever known. Because it is so strong and durable, it is applied in a variety of designs. The parabola is utilized in a variety of buildings and technologies, and it always improves whatever it is used in. What makes it so effective? A parabola, according to Pascal, is a circle's projection. Galileo proved that projectiles falling under the influence of homogeneous gravity have a path known as a parabolic path. Many bodily actions follow a curvilinear route that is shaped like a parabola. An architect cannot create a blueprint without first drawing a simple parabola graph. According to the topic's strict definition, a parabola is the set of all points equidistant from a line and a fixed point not on the line. Parabolas are not just about mathematics or how we plot them; they may create something really unique, distinct, and important.
