Conic Sections Rebellion
The Conic Sections Rebellion, also known as the Conic Section Rebellion, refers primarily to an incident which occurred at Yale University in 1830,〔(TIMELINE OF SELECTED EVENTS IN THE HISTORY OF YALE ) at Yale University Library, published March 19 2010; retrieved July8 2011〕 as a result of changes in the methods of Mathematics education.〔(Teaching Math in America: An Exhibit at the Smithsonian ), from ''Notices of the American Mathematical Society'', volume 49, no. 9 (October 2002), pp 1082–1083, by Allyn Jackson; retrieved July 8 2011〕 When a policy change dictated that students were required to draw reference diagrams for exams rather than be allowed to refer to diagrams in their textbooks, a number of students staged a rebellion in which they refused to take the exams at all.

In 1825, students of the Yale sophomore class claimed that "by explicit contract with (their) mathematical tutor, (they were) exempt from the corollaries of the text-book (on conic sections)",〔 and refused to recite these corollaries. Thirty-eight students out of a class of eighty-seven, including Horace Bushnell, William H. Welch, Henry Hogeboom, and William Adams, were suspended; faculty contacted the students' parents, and the students were pressured into signing a statement of concession:
