Geometry can give an exact result for the circumference of an ellipse--but as one writer says, "there are simple formulas, but they are not exact, and there are exact formulas, but they are not simple." check at http://home.att.net/~numericana/answer/ellipse.htm#elliptic for the math, which is complicated.

Expertise

I can help troubleshoot your Illustrator 9 through CS3 (and most CS4) problems and suggest the best way to get the results you need. Although I can help with some installation issues, my forte is prepress and how to use the tools and functions in the application itself.

Experience

I've been a graphic artist for over 20 years. Oh my God, 20 years.
