Special Relativity and Conic Sections
You
may begin reading here. Each page is divided into two parts. The first part
tells the mathematical story for the page. And the second part describes the
interactions, and explains how to do them. While you will not be interacting,
we suggest you read the second parts for the illustrations, and for some commentary
that accompanies them.
