Conic sections in polar form

Curves
Conic sections can also be defined as curves in polar form. The equation of the curve is $$ r = p_1−\varepsilon\cdot \cos(\varphi + \rho) $$ The actual curve term is displayed in an HTML span using [ES6 template literals](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Template_literals).
