Elliptic coordinates and Laplace’s equation

1 · John Cook · Nov. 9, 2022, 5:41 p.m.
In rectangular coordinates, constant values of x are vertical lines and constant values of y are horizontal lines. In polar coordinates, constant values of r are circles and constant values of θ are lines from the origin. In elliptic coordinates, the position of a point is specified by two numbers, μ and ν. Constant values […] The post Elliptic coordinates and Laplace’s equation first appeared on John D. Cook....
