www.cis.upenn.eduExcept for so-called singular cases, we get ellipses, parabolas, and hyperbolas.The same question can be asked for surfaces defined by quadratic equations, known as quadrics,andagain,aclassificationispossible.However,theseclassifications are a bit artificial. For example, an ellipse and a hyperbola differ by the fact that
