Parametric representation of the sphere
In Cartesian coordinates the sphere is [Equation goes here - download the original pdf to see it.] Let R be the region of the uv-plane given by [Equation goes here - download the original pdf to see it.] Then a parametric representation of the sphere with radius a is given by [Equation goes here - download the original pdf to see it.] The curves [Equation goes here - download the original pdf to see it.] give meridians on the sphere; the curves [Equation goes here - download the original pdf to see it.] give parallels on the sphere.
