Abstract
In this chapter, we try to present ideas for generalizing quadrics. Quadrics in three-dimensional space carry a three-parameter family of conics: Each conic on a quadric is a planar intersection of the quadric, and thus, there are as many conics on a quadric as there are planes in a three-dimensional space.
