Conics, unitals and net replacement.
… of this thesis are inherited unitals and conics in finite translation planes. Translation planes may be constructed from particular incidences in other translation planes. One method for doing this is "net-derivation" or the corresponding operation "net replacement". We consider conics and …

Classifcation of Conics in the Tropical Projective Plane
… a strategy is given for finding all conics in the tropical projective plane. The classification of conics and an analysis of the coefficient space corresponding to such conics is given.

Strengthening the Precalculus Bridge: Enhancing the Precalculus Student's Understanding of Tangents to Conics, Biquadratic Equations, and Maxima and Minima
… following topics:</p> <ul> <li>Tangent Lines to Conics</li> <li>Maxima and Minima</li> <li>Biquadratic Equations</li> </ul> <p>Because these topics are not generally covered in precalculus courses, there are several possible uses for them. An instructor could use the material as:</p> <ul> <li>An …

Enumerative problems in intersection theory
… P3 , determinantal varieties, and the number of conics tangent to five conics in P2 .

Ion-Cyclotron Resonance Heating of O+ in the Topside Ionosphere and Mapping Outflows to the Magnetosphere
… of ions in type-II ion outflows and ion conics. Instead of employing the guiding center approximation, as is usually done with single particle tracing models in order to make the outflow simulation less computationally expensive, the trajectories here resolve the ions’ full gyro-motion. …

Kaehler Differential Algebras for 0-Dimensional Schemes and Applications
… point schemes whose supports lie on non-singular conics in P^2. Finally, we prove the Segre bounds for equimultiple fat point schemes in P^4, this result allows us to determine the regularity index of the module of Kaehler differential 1-forms, and a sharp bound for the regularity index of the …

Analyzing perspective views of a wire frame object model
… The arc is bounded by connected line segments or conics. The input image is a simulated photographs of some objects of our model, the problem is to identify what these objects are. The two dimensional data structure we derived from image are equations of each planar arc. The data stored in the …

An Historical Examination of the Secondary Mathematics Curriculum in Ontario Through Two Lenses: Curriculum Policy Documents and Reflections of Leaders in the Field
… within the document, removal of topics such as conics and proofs with the reduction of the secondary program to four years and an overall increased focus on calculus. By contrasting document changes to both previous literature and interviews conducted in this study, possible triggering events, …

Analytical methods for gravity-assist tour design
… <p>This work is based in the theory of patched conics. This document applies rigor to the concept of pumping (i.e. using gravity assists to change orbital energy) and cranking (i.e. using gravity assists to change inclination) to develop several analytic relations with pump and crank angles. In …

Gravity-assist trajectories to Venus, Mars, and the ice giants: Mission design with human and robotic applications
… trajectories are validated using patched conics via the STOUR program. Establishment trajectories that use low-thrust were investigated with particular focus on validating the patched-conic based solutions at instances where Earth encounter times are not negligible.</p>

Radio-Frequency Plasma Expansion in Different Magnetic Nozzle Configurations
… In the symmetric field case, a high-density conics structure formed downstream of the MN throat for the field strengths studied. When the magnetic nozzle was deflected, the ion current profile transitioned from a double-peaked to a single peak centred around the steered field line …

Computational design with curved creases : David Huffman's approach to paperfolding
… of gadgets Huffman invents for himself which use conics and refraction. The gadgets control the behavior of the paper around the crease, providing an opportunity for discrete representation. More general curve types conclude the taxonomy. This structure allows me to present Huffman's varied oeuvre …

Metodología proyectiva en espacios no convencionales : aplicaciones al plano ciclico
… Bicircular quartics are quite analogous to conics in the projective plañe. The analysis of the bicircular quartics, within the framework of projective geometry, provides new models to solve geometric problems. The work ends with the study of the inversión. It gives rise to an involutive …

Chebyshev-like polynomials, conic distribution of roots, and continued fractions
In the first part of this thesis, we show that a wide range of the properties of the roots of translated Chebyshev polynomials of the first kind (call these complex numbers Chebyshev points), are illuminated by the study of geometric properties of the ellipse and conversely. This includes the …
