Abstract

The conic sections and also the types of traces that might be obtained by the intersection of a plane with the ten real quadric surfaces have always been a source of great interest to me.

Lack of time has always been an obstacle to satisfying this curiosity. However, the opportunity for taking time was presented when the Department granted permission to write this thesis.
