Jacque, BOL! (Burst out laughing)
This may be more recognizable, the equation for the ellipse in rectangular coordinates: x^2 + y^2 ----- ----- = 1 a^2 b^2 Just replace x by r*cos(theta) and y by r*sin(theta) and solve for r. Voila. Well maybe not. Foreign languages are not difficult, just alien. Speaking of which, I have no idea what the emoticon :P means. I hope its not something naughty. After two years of classical Greek I recall (?) that Ho strategos eine micros, means the general is small. (It doesn't look anything like this in modern Greek.) The rest is all Greek to me.
