+Consider an ellipsoid of revolution with equatorial radius :math:`a`, polar
+semi-axis :math:`b`, and flattening :math:`f=(a-b)/a`. Points on
the surface of the ellipsoid are characterized by their latitude :math:`\phi`
and longitude :math:`\lambda`. (Note that latitude here means the
*geographical latitude*, the angle between the normal to the ellipsoid
