 One of the most striking results in real projective geometry is that under projective transformations, all conic sections look alike.  Moving up to three dimensions, we can ask whether the quadric surfaces all look alike in projective space.  Come to this talk to find out the answer.  

This talk represents part of the final project required for Math 4451.
