Historically, perhaps the first curve to be "discovered" was the circle, one of four curves called The Conic Sections, or just The Conics. The Conics are four curves: ... The Parabola is an interesting mathematical curve, one of the conics, and a curve with many applications from space travel to the sport of baseball.

The conics were discovered by Menaechmus about 350 BC. He found them while trying to solve the classical construction problem of doubling the cube. Suppose you have a cube of volume 1. Then its sides have length 1 also. ... There are many applications of the conic sections. Here are a few, arranged by the section involved.
