[comp.ai] Question

I am stuck with a problem where I need some help. I am not sure whether this is
the right group, if not please direct me to the appropriate group. Thanks.
Now the problem I am trying to solve is: 
	Is there a general formula to obtain the volume of an ellipsoid_of_
revolution with one major axis of size 'a' and D-1 minor axes of size 
      2    2
sqrt(a  - c ) ? I am looking for a formula in terms of 'a', 'c' and 'D'. If 
there is one, can anyone help me finding it. I tried to find it in some of the
math tables I have, but no luck. Please reply by email.

Thanks in advance.
