The 16 pages that link to Parabola, each with the reason it gives.

• Conic sectionBroader topic: A plane parallel to a cone’s sloping side produces a parabola.

• Vertex (geometry)Broader topic: Its vertex is the point where the axis of symmetry meets the curve.

• Apollonius of PergaBroader topic: Apollonius established the name and geometric treatment of this conic.

• Focus (geometry)Broader topic: Its single focus works with a directrix rather than a second focus.

• Parabolic reflectorBroader topic: A paraboloid is generated by rotating this curve around its axis.

• ConeBroader topic: A plane parallel to a cone’s sloping side creates a parabolic section.

• MenaechmusBroader topic: A parabola supplies one of the curves used in Menaechmus’s cube-doubling construction.
