requiring the elliptic integral of the third kind; thence the expression of x1 + x2i and y1 + y2i.

Introducing Euler’s angles θ, φ, ψ,

x1 = F sin θ sin φ,   x2 = F sin θ cos φ, x1 + x2i = iF sin θε−ψi,   x3 = F cos θ;

sin θ = P sin φ + Q cos φ,

= (qx1 + ry1) x1 + (qx2 + ry2) x2 = q (x12 + x22) + r (x1y1 + x2y2) = gF2 sin2 θ + r (FG − x3y3),
