A conoid is a type of ruled surface generated by moving a straight line along a curve while keeping it parallel to a fixed plane or intersecting a fixed line. It is commonly studied in differential geometry and has applications in architecture and design due to its unique structural properties.

A curve is a continuous and smooth flowing line without any sharp turns or angles, often representing a mathematical function or path in geometry and calculus. It can be described in various forms such as parametric, implicit, or explicit equations, and is fundamental in understanding the behavior of functions and shapes in both two and three dimensions.

Differential geometry is the field of mathematics that uses the techniques of calculus and linear algebra to study problems in geometry, particularly those involving curves and surfaces. It plays a crucial role in understanding the geometry of differentiable manifolds and has applications in physics, particularly in the theory of general relativity and modern theoretical physics.
