SUMMARY
The discussion centers on parameterizing the intersection between a cylinder and the plane defined by z=0. Participants clarify the direction of rotation in their equations, with one user mistakenly using 'sen' instead of 'sin' due to language differences. The correct interpretation of the equations is crucial for accurately representing the clockwise rotation of the cylinder. The conversation emphasizes the importance of precise terminology in mathematical discussions.

You say that you are going clockwise, but your arrows and equations look counterclockwise.
Other than that, it looks ok to me. Shouldn't all those 'sen's be 'sin's?

Oh my bad i was copying my notes into that picture so that it would be easier to understand them and messed up those arrows, yes they should be going clockwise. anyways, i type "sen" because i speak spanish, sorry about that.FactChecker said:
So those are the values i should substitute in that integral?

Your y(t) equation will make it go around counterclockwise.
