Ellipsoid

A Quadratic Surface which is given in Cartesian Coordinates by

(1)

where the semi-axes are of lengths

, and

.In Spherical Coordinates, this becomes

The Surface Area (Bowman 1961, pp. 31-32) is

(6)

where

is a Complete Elliptic Integral of the Second Kind,

			(8)
			(9)

and

is given by inverting the expression

(10)

where

is a Jacobi Elliptic Function. The Volume of an ellipsoid is

(11)

If two axes are the same, the figure is called a Spheroid (depending on whether

, an Oblate Spheroidor Prolate Spheroid, respectively), and if all three are the same, it is a Sphere.

A different parameterization of the ellipsoid is the so-called stereographic ellipsoid, given by the parametric equations

A third parameterization is the Mercator parameterization
