Like the tail fins on fifties American cars or the parabolic shapes of Populuxe furniture, 'West Side Story' incarnates the dream of momentum in the golden age of the twentieth century.

American Critic

Think of a thrown ball's arc for the curve described by 'parabolic'.

Visual Imagery

'Parabolic' is often used to describe the motion in sports or physics.

Non-literal Usage

'Parabolic' in math refers to the U-shaped graph of quadratic functions.

Graphical Representation

Used in higher-level math, 'parabolic' implies formal educational settings.

Academic Context

'Parabolic' in math is specific to quadratic curves, not general curves.

Precision Required

'Parabolic' mirrors or antennas collect and focus waves for a clear signal.

Focus and Direct

In technology, 'parabolic' applies to equipment with a specific curved shape.
