Ellipsoidal coordinates
Ellipsoidal coordinates are a three-dimensional orthogonal coordinate system formula_1 that generalizes the two-dimensional elliptic coordinate system. Unlike most three-dimensional orthogonal coordinate systems that feature quadratic coordinate surfaces, the ellipsoidal coordinate system is based on confocal quadrics.
