Ellipsoid : Length of meridian arc

The length of a meridian arc m between the parallels of geodetic latitudes φ₁ and φ₂ is computed. Also the inverse problem is solved. If instead of the geodetic latitude a different latitude is given or desired then it can be converted using Latitude dependent values.
