$begingroup$


How can I form the parameterization of a curve of intersection given a sphere $x^2+y^2+z^2 =1$ and an elliptic cylinder $2x^2 + z^2 = 1$ ?

            I think it just determines the direction of recursion on the intersection but I agree with you. A parametrization is not unique even as with the unit circle we have $$x=sin u\y=cos u$$or$$x=sin u\y=-cos u$$
