Sorry I should have clarified, finding the intersection is pretty trivial, I just never know how to parameterize the thing so I can use it as the curve in a line integral.

This is what I was trying but I couldn't get one of the parameters to disappear. I'm probably missing something obvious, which is quite often the case. Even Waterloo has students that skip too many classes...

I'm trying to find the parametric equation for the curve created by a plane intersecting a sphere. Typical sphere x^2+y^2+z^2=1, and plane x+y+z=0. I need the intersection in parametric form so I can use it as the curve in a line integral. I just need to know how to do this, not someone to do it...

I'm trying to find the parameterization of the intersection of a cylinder x^2+y^2=1 and the plane x+y+z=1, but I'm not exactly sure how to go about it. Any guidance on how to find this intersection in a parameterized form would be most appreciated. In general I don't know a great deal about...
