Parametrized vertical projection
Parametrized vertical projection
Let $\mathbb{F}_1: x^2+y^2+z^2=16$ and $\mathbb{F}_2: (x-2)^2 + y^2 =4$. Consider the curve $c: \mathbb{F}_1 \cap \mathbb{F}_2$. You are asked to parametrize the vertical projection $\gamma$ of $c$ onto the $xy$ plane.
$\displaystyle \sum_{n=1}^{\infty}\frac{1}{n^s}= \prod_{p \; \text{prime}}\frac{1}{1-p^{-s}}$

Re: Parametrized vertical projection
The surface $F_2=\big\{(x,y,z)\in\mathbb{R}^3\; |\; (x-2)^2 + y^2 =4,\; z\in\mathbb{R}\big\}$ is a cylinder with base the circle $p=\big\{(x,y,0)\in\mathbb{R}^3\; |\; (x-2)^2 + y^2 =4\big\}$ and axis perpedicular to $xy$-plane. The curve obtained by the intersection of the cylinder $F_2$ by any surface which passes throughout the cylinder, has as projection onto the $xy$- plane the circle $p$. It easy to check that the sphere $F_1=\big\{(x,y,z)\in\mathbb{R}^3\; |\; x^2 + y^2+z^2 =4^2\big\}$ passes throughout the cylinder $F_2$.(*) So, a parametrization of the requested projection is \[\overrightarrow{p}(t)=(2+2\cos{t},\,2\sin{t},\,0)\,,\quad t\in[0,2\pi]\,.\]
(*) I'll give a more strict (mathematically) proof for this, after the answer of the question below.

Riemann, allow me to continue with this: Find a parametrization of the curve $c=F_1 \cap F_2$.
