- How to get the surface area of an oblate ellipsoid in terms of ε?
In "An Introduction to Nuclear Physics by W. N. Cottingham, D. A. Greenwood" for the surface area of an oblate ellipsoid, the following equation is written for small values of ε :
The book has said this without proof.
I found the following formula for the desired shape:
No matter how hard I tried, I could not get the result of the book with this formula. I used Taylor's expansions in the calculation, but unfortunately my result does not match the book. Help me, please!
