About Elliptic Integrals of the Second Kind

Definitions

The incomplete elliptic integral of the second kind is defined as:

\textrm{E}(\varphi,k) = \int_{0}^{\varphi} \sqrt{1-k^2\sin^2\theta}\, d\theta

where k is the elliptic modulus, with -1 \le k \le 1 . Variable \varphi is the Jacobi's amplitude.

The complete elliptic integral of the first kind is defined as:

\textrm{E}(k) = \textrm{E}(\frac{\pi}{2},k) = \int_{0}^{\frac{\pi}{2}} \sqrt{1-k^2\sin^2\theta}\, d\theta

Values

In the following table the values of the complete elliptic integral of the second kind are shown for a range of k values:
