    Oblate Spheroid Geodesic

    Definition

    The geodesic on an oblate spheroid can be computed analytically, although the resulting expression is much more unwieldy than for a simple sphere. A spheroid with equatorial radius a and polar radius c can be specified parametrically by x | = | a sin v cos u y | = | a sin v sin u z | = | c cos v, where a>c.
