Eccentricity

Summary

The eccentricity of a conic section is a non-negative real number that measures how far the conic is from a circle. It is 00 for a circle, between 00 and 11 for an ellipse, 11 for a parabola and greater than 11 for a hyperbola.

What this node needs for W2
  • edge instance_of in: at least two examples (0 of 2)
  • edge not_instance_of in: at least one non-example (0 of 1)
  • edge specializes both: the more general notions and the special cases (0 of 1)

The writing levels say how complete the text of a node is. They do not measure its truth.
