## This returns the eccentricity given the third flattening (n)

## Examples:

## Scalar input:
## @example
## n_earth = 0.0016792;
## ecc_earth = n2ecc ( n_earth )

## @end example
##
## Vector input:
## @example
## n_vec = [ 0.0016792 0.033525 ];
## ecc = n2ecc ( n_vec )
## => ecc =
## 0.081819 0.35432
## @end example
