Check out SpheroidalPS, SpheroidalEigenvalue and related... (For the record, the package was -- and still is -- *freely* available at http://ftp.physics.uwa.edu.au/pub/Theses/2002/Falloon/ ) It seems I've ruffled a few feathers, so let me repeat what I just wrote offline to another correspondent: "I apologize if I've caused offence here: let me be clear that I'm not trying to impugn the package itself. All I'm saying is that if it doesn't address the specific question, it seems a little cynical to go recommending it? It would be a different story if a specific implementation using the package was demonstrated, and a good argument given as to why this was easier than, or superior to, what could be achieved in Mathematica alone. If that's the case, why not do it (my implementation took only about 10 minutes to whip up and is reasonably workable)?" Cheers, Peter.
