The conic sections such as circle, ellipse, parabola and hyperbola are discussed in this video in cartesian and polar coordinates. The general equation of conic sections is presented and the eccentricity is used to demarcate the different curves. Conic sections in polar coordinates ore needed for the study or space and orbital mechanics in aerospace engineering and astronautics.
