Wikipedia definition
2. ParabolaIn mathematics, a parabola is a conic section, created from the intersection of a right circular conical surface and a plane parallel to a generating straight line of that surface. Another way to generate a parabola is to examine a point and a line on a plane. The locus of points in that plane that are equidistant from both the line and point is a parabola.
