A conic section is generated by the intersection of a plane with a double cone. The specific shape of the conic section (ellipse, parabola, hyperbola, or circle) depends on the angle of the plane in relation to the axis of the cone. The different conic sections result from different orientations of the cutting plane.

What are conics in mathematics?

Maybe you mean connics? Conics are shape of graphs. They get their name because they are all parts of a cone sliced in different directions. Some examples are lines, parabolas, hyperbolas, circles, ellipses, points...

What are conics?

Conics, or conic sections, are the intersection of a plane with an infinite double cone. If that plane cuts both cones, it is a hyperbola. If it is parallel to the edge of the cone, you get a parabola. If neither is the case, it is an ellipse. The ellipse is also a circle if the plane is perpendicular to the altitude of the cone. Note that none of these are the case if the plane passes through the vertex of the cone.
