1.2 Quadric surface
A quadric surface is a level surface of a polynomial function given by
where are constants. Quadric surfaces are three-dimensional version of the conic
sections (parabolas, ellipses, and hyperbolas). There are six basic types of quadric surfaces:
ellipsoid, hyperboloid of one sheet, hyperboloid of two sheets, elliptic cone, elliptic paraboloid
and hyperbolic paraboloid.
The intersection of a surface with a plane is called the trace of the surface in the plane. The traces
of quadric surfaces are conics
