What is the eccentricity of an ellipse

The video tutorial explains the concept of eccentricity in ellipses, focusing on the major and minor axes, the role of foci, and how eccentricity values affect the shape of an ellipse. It highlights that eccentricity cannot be zero and discusses the implications of eccentricity values approaching zero, leading to a circular shape. The tutorial concludes with a summary of these concepts.
