conic sections

[drufae]

Hi,

does anyone know a good book or site I could refer to for conic section related formula,properties(the whole lot).I will be requiring very detailed covering almost everything esp. focusing on the tangents , normal and other associated figures and their various forms(i.e parametric ,slope,point, etc..).

 

Thanks
