Algebra 2 - Conic Sections - Ellipses

Conic sections CAN be fun, if you know what you're doing... that's why YAYMATH is here! Ellipses are another of the conic sections. We discuss the major and minor axes, the focii, and graph in detail. Hope you enjoy the roller coaster story! YAY MATH! Visit yaymath.org Videos copyright (c) Yay Math

LOVELY VIDEO. It took Kepler EIGHT YEARS of meticulous calculations to prove that Mars moved in an ellipse. He had to throw out the perfect circle which religious dogma insisted must be the shape of orbits. Respectfully if humorously, I propose that KEPPLE be given the meaning "to calculate precisely and CHECK YOUR WORK!" Kepler wrote his own epitaph (in part): "Mensus eram coelos, nunc terrae metior umbras . . ." I measured the heavens, now I measure the shadows. KEPPLE away!
