Concentric Ellipsoidal (T6) Coordinates
Background
Building on our general introduction to Direction Cosines in the context of orthogonal curvilinear coordinate systems, here we detail the properties of Elliptic Cylinder Coordinates. First, we present this coordinate system in the manner described by [MF53]; second, we provide an alternate presentation, obtained from Wikipedia; then, third, we investigate whether or not a related coordinate system based on concentric (rather than confocal) elliptic surfaces can be satisfactorily described.
