Plot 3D 

Exercise 15.3.13  (Page 1042): 

This shows the intersection of the sphere  with the right circular cylinder .  The two surfaces intersect when . With Plot 3D  in parametric (two variables mode) parameterize the sphere as in spherical coordinates:

with   and .  Parameterize the cylinder as

  

with  and , then with  and .  The viewer angle with the x-axis is 45 degrees and with the z-axis it is 60 degrees.
