Hi! My name is Navya, and in this course, I'll be going over conic sections, which is a huge part of precalculus, and one that can also be pretty difficult to remember. In this course, you'll be learning everything from the key features of the different conic sections(ellipses, hyperbolas, etc.) to their equations and real-world applications.

This session is perfect for anyone who's about to take precalculus, or anyone who needs a refresher before they do calculus.
I hope you'll join me soon!
