Re^2: [(way)OT] Formula for volume of a circular lens with an elliptical profile?by BrowserUk (Patriarch) |

is it half of an ellipsoid ? Thanks for the link, I had never heard of an ellipsoid. Reading further, it seems that the terms: ellipsoid of revolution and spheroid are specific version of an ellipsoid, and what I was trying to describe is properly terms an "oblate spheroid". Which has the simpler volume formula given by anonymonk below (or above). With the rise and rise of 'Social' network sites: 'Computers are making people easier to use everyday'

In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.
