Physics news on Phys.org
start here

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conic_section

and also google "conic section" , you will get lot of links ...for the problems , google
"conic section problems"

google makes life easier, doesn't it ?

\smile
 
I did, but the wiki page gives only one reference, and I don't know if it's the best or not.
