AN INTRODUCTION TO CONIC SECTIONS There exists a certain group of curves called Conic Sections that are conceptually kin in several astonishing ways. Each member of this group has a certain shape‚ and can be classified appropriately: as either a circle‚ an ellipse‚ a parabola‚ or a hyperbola. The term "Conic Section" can be applied to any one of these curves‚ and the study of one curve is not essential to the study of another. However‚ their correlation to each other is one of the more intriguing

Mathematics and the Arts Kokichi Sugihara 1. Fractal Voronoi Diagrams The Voronoi diagram represents the partition of the plane into territories‚ where each territory consists of points nearest to the associated generators. Starting with a small number of generators‚ we add generators at random‚ simulate territory competing‚ and assign colors to the resulting diagram. Then‚ we get something like artistic patterns. Search for the point with the maximum F (θ ‚ ϕ ) in the (θ ‚ ϕ ) space. 3. Generation

MATHEMATICS OF INVESTMENT Simple Interest If you borrow a car from a car rental company or if you live in someone else’s house or apartment‚ you have to pay rent. Like paying rent for the use of a car or a house‚ you also have to pay rent for the money you borrowed. This is called interest. People like Marco earn by charging interest on loans. Banks earn most of their income from the interest that people pay for the amounts they borrow. How much interest one has to pay depends on three factors:
