Plot 3D 

Exercise 15.3.16 (Page 1042):  This shows the intersection of the two right circular cylinders    and  with the surface .  The figure will be drawn in three stages, with the viewing cube defined as , the viewer angle with the x-axis as 40 degrees, and the view angle with the z-axis is 80 degrees. 

Stage 1:  The "back sides" of the two cylinders are graphed in this stage.  The smaller cylinder  is parameterized as

 

and is plotted for  (s-resolution is 4) and for   (t-resolution 16).  The larger cylinder  is parameterized as

  

 

and is plotted for  (s-resolution is 4) and for  (t-resolution 16).  The resulting graph is shown to the right.

Stage 2:  The surface   is parameterized as

  

 

and is plotted for  (s-resolution is 12) and for  (t-resolution 32).  The surface is plotted without erasing the previous plot and is shown to the right.

Stage 3:  The "front sides" of the cylinders are plotted with the same parameterizations and s-intervals as in stage 1, but both t-intervals are The surfaces are plotted without erasing the previous plot and the resulting graph is shown below.
