Moore, Charles G. – College Mathematics Journal, 1985
A construction of an ellipse, given its foci and major-axis length 2a and using a compass and straightedge, is illustrated. It is based on Dandelin's elegant proofs that the sections formed by the intersections of a cone with a plane are an ellipse, parabola, or hyperbola. (MNS)

Rogers, Pat – Mathematical Spectrum, 1972
Criteria for a reasonable axiomatic system are discussed. A discussion of the historical attempts to prove the independence of Euclids parallel postulate introduces non-Euclidean geometries. Poincare's model for a non-Euclidean geometry is defined and analyzed. (LS)
