-------------------------------------------------------------------------- Compute the surface area of an ellipsoid. It handles special cases when any two or three semi-major axes are equal. Type SurfaceAreaEllipsoid for a demo. This is nearly a sphere where a = 1 + 2*eps, b = 1 + eps, c = 1 where eps is the machine epsilon which on a MacBook Air is 2.2204e-16. Since version 2014.1 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Form: s = SurfaceAreaEllipsoid( a, b, c ) -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------ Inputs ------ a (1,1) Semi-major axis b (1,1) Semi-major axis c (1,1) Semi-major axis ------- Outputs ------- s (1,1) Surface area -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Reference: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ellipsoid --------------------------------------------------------------------------
