That is exactly what I’m asking. However, asking it in Stack Exchange just got me a link to a calculus lesson, and I’m hoping for something like the equation for this problem in 3D space (you know, the side par on page 72 of Space that takes up half the page?).

Edit: also, hey Rupert. Nice to see someone from TML.
