The equation of an ellipse is
x2/a2+y2/b2=1,
where a and b are positive constants, a ³ b. The foci of this
ellipse are located at (c, 0), and (-c, 0), where c =
(a2 – b2)1/2. The eccentricity, e,
of this ellipse is given by e=c/a, while
the length of the ellipse’s perimeter is
\int_0^((\pi )/(2)) 4a(1-e^(2)sin^(2)\theta
)^((1)/(2))d\theta .
If 0 < e < 1, this integral cannot be integrated in terms
of “well-known” functions. However, fnInt, may be used...
