Method on @sym: ellipticE (phi, m) ¶

Complete and incomplete elliptic integrals of the second kind.

The incomplete elliptic integral of the second kind with amplitude phi and parameter m is given by:

syms phi m
ellipticE (phi, m)
  ⇒ ans = (sym) E(φ│m)

rewrite (ans, 'Integral')         % doctest: +SKIP
  ⇒ ans = (sym)

      ⎮ ╲╱  - m⋅sin (α) + 1  dα

The complete elliptic integral of the second kind with parameter m is given by:

ellipticE (m)
  ⇒ ans = (sym) E(m)

rewrite (ans, 'Integral')         % doctest: +SKIP
  ⇒ ans = (sym)

Examples:

vpa (ellipticE (sym (1), sym (1)/10))
  ⇒ (sym) 0.98620694978157550636951680164874

vpa (ellipticE (sym (-pi)/4))
  ⇒ (sym) 1.8443492468732292114663773247580
