Hi! I'm a new user at Wikipedia, as of March 2007, so I haven't had much time to edit my page. Thanks for visiting!
[edit] Favorite Wikipedia articles
My favorite articles on Wikipedia are the related articles on conic sections and Dandelin spheres.
Make sure to check out the external links, especially the Dandelin Spheres page by Hop David and the Dandelin Java applet at Feynman's Lost Lecture! Also, check out the links on Hop David's page, as well as this page on the occurences of conics in nature. It's really incredible.
I recommend to all that you just take twenty minutes to familiarize yourself with the conic sections' amazing characteristics—the foci, eccentricity, moires, and reflection properties; their geometric and algebraic definitions; their everyday appearances; and so much more. Doing so will greatly enhance your appreciation of this universe in which we live.
