Abstract
In the matter of exact solutions of Einstein's field equations, coordinates play a very decisive role. Sometimes it is very difficult to understand the physical concept of a phenomenon or physical quantity in one coordinate system, while by changing the coordinate system, a simpler understanding of that quantity is obtained. In geodesy, which deals with the simulation and modeling of the gravitational field, it is common to use elliptical coordinates. In this article, we attempt to explain some computational fundamentals in elliptical coordinates and discuss its possible application to gravity.
