Introducing elliptic coordinates
Gaining some insight into the meaning of elliptic coordinates (μ, ν) by considering the shapes of the coordinate curves. The thumbnail shows some of these coordinate curves - constant μ in blue, and constant ν in red/orange. A natural choice of coordinate system for solving problems with an elliptical geometry, as I'm planning to demonstrate in my next video! About me: I studied Physics at the University of Cambridge, then stayed on to get a PhD in Astronomy. During my PhD, I also spent four years teaching Physics undergraduates at the university. Now, I'm working as a private tutor, teaching Physics & Maths up to A Level standard.
