Conic sections as intersections of the cutting plane with the surface of a double cone
Košťáková, Sára ; Halas, Zdeněk (advisor) ; Moravcová, Vlasta (referee)
1 Abstract This bachelor thesis points out several blank spaces in the current tea- ching of conic sections. It concentrates mainly on the relation between the cutting of a conic surface and conic sections defined planimetrocally. Further on the thesis describes the origin of names for conic sections and adds many interesting details, like a cut of a cone by Dürer, relationship between an elliptical cut of a cylindrical surface and a sinusoid, and pointing out seve- ral chosen basic application of conic sections. A huge part of the thesis is dedicated to the characterization of specific uses of conic sections in archi- tecture and, mainly, in painting, and describing geometric reconstructions and analysis of specific art pieces with further commentary. 1
Collection of examples on quadratic surfaces
HRONOVÁ, Žaneta
Bachelor thesis deals with practical examples on quadratic surfaces. It is divided into an Introduction and 11 chapters. Each chapter includes basic concepts of the issue, followed by several solved examples and at the end of chapter unsolved examples are listed, including results. The thesis can help to manage the course Geometry I., in which conics and quadrics are discussed. Aim of this thesis is to collect examples for each topic of the theory of quadratic surfaces, subsequently typical examples resolve and in this way give the instructions for solving other examples, which are listed only with results, to practice.
