Homework Statement
I have two questions.
1) generally speaking, when we are given two equations both describing surface in R3:
f1(x,y,z)=k
and f2(x,y,z)=C,
The intersection of the two will be a curve that's by solving both equations. My question is, by solving f1 and f2 to get anther equation say f3, does f3 iteself enough to describe the intersection curve, OR do we need f3 AND one of f1 or f2 to describe the intersection? I am not talking about very complicated or special case situation.
I ask this question because we need it for computing surface integral or line integral using stroke's theorem. The first step of identifying the boundary is critical
