Elliptic Torus

Am elliptic torus is a surface of revolution which is a generalization of the ring torus. It is produced by rotating an ellipse embedded in the -plane having horizontal semi-axis , vertical semi-axis , and located a distance away from the -axis about the -axis. It is given by the parametric equations
