WHAT DOES ELLIPSOID MEAN IN ENGLISH?

ellipsoid

Ellipsoid

An ellipsoid is a closed quadric surface that is a three-dimensional analogue of an ellipse. The standard equation of an ellipsoid centered at the origin of a Cartesian coordinate system and aligned with the axes is The points, and lie on the surface and the line segments from the origin to these points are called the semi-principal axes of length a, b, c. They correspond to the semi-major axis and semi-minor axis of the appropriate ellipses. There are four distinct cases of which one is degenerate: ▪ — tri-axial or scalene ellipsoid; ▪ — oblate ellipsoid of revolution; ▪ — prolate ellipsoid of revolution; ▪ — the degenerate case of a sphere; Mathematical literature often uses 'ellipsoid' in place of 'tri-axial ellipsoid'. Scientific literature often uses 'ellipsoid' in place of 'ellipsoid of revolution' and only applies the adjective 'tri-axial' when treating the general case. Older literature uses 'spheroid' in place of 'ellipsoid of revolution'.

Definition of ellipsoid in the English dictionary

The definition of ellipsoid in the dictionary is a geometric surface, symmetrical about the three coordinate axes, whose plane sections are ellipses or circles. Standard equation: x²/ a² + y²/ b² + z²/ c² = 1, where ± a, ± b, ± c are the intercepts on the x-, y-, and z- axes. Other definition of ellipsoid is a solid having this shape.
