Resource type Conic Sections Part 1
IPOD VIDEO: In this unit we study the conic sections. These are the curves obtained when a cone is cut by a plane. We find the equations of one of these curves, the parabola, by using an alternative description in terms of points whose distances from a fixed point and a fixed line are equal. We also find the equation of a tangent to a parabola using techniques from calculus, and we use this to prove the reflective property of the parabola.

Resource type Polar co-ordinates
The (x, y) co-ordinates of a point in the plane are called its Cartesian co-ordinates. But there is another way to specify the position of a point, and that is to use polar co-ordinates (r, theta). In this unit we explain how to convert from Cartesian co-ordinates to polar co-ordinates, and back again.

Workbook (2)

Resource type Euclidean Geometry
Designed for self-study, this drawing-led introduction to the geometry of Euclid takes the learner from first principles through to constructions and mathematical proofs as well as covering practical applications of the techniques learnt in art and design. It concludes with a study of the pentagon, golden ratio and their surprising mathematical interconnection. The resources comprise a 100-page booklet and supporting interactive resources. These resources have been created by Rich Cochrane and Andrew McGettigan (Central Saint Martins, UAL) and reviewed by Prof Jeremy Gray (Open University). They were funded by a sigma Resource Development grant and contributed to the mathcentre Community Project.
