How to go from elliptic coordinates back to cartesian?

310 Views Asked by At

I know that the transform form cartesian to elliptical is

$x=a \cosh \mu \cos \nu; \;\;\;\; y=a \sinh \mu \sin \nu$

How do I go back to cartesian if I have an expression in elliptical, meaning that I need the relations

$\mu = f(x,y);\;\;\;\nu=g(x,y)$?
