Applications of Quadric Surfaces: Telescopes, Car Headlights, Microphones, Nuclear Power Plants
In this video I go over a quick overview of some of the many applications of quadric surfaces. From the shape of the Earth being an ellipsoid, satellite dishes being paraboloids, to nuclear power plants being hyperboloids, applications of quadric surfaces are boundless!
