Geodesic curves for an ellipsoid
Homework Statement The problem asks to find the shortest distance between two points on Earth, assuming different equatorial and polar radii i.e. the coordinates are represented as: x = a*cos(theta)*sin(phi) y = a*sin(theta)*sin(phi) z = b*cos(phi) Homework Equations The Attempt at a...- tossin
