Jordan, You might find the article Intersection of Surfaces, Steven Wilkinson, Mathematica in Education and Research, Volume 8, No. 2, Spring 1999 useful. It has a function that returns a parameterization of the intersection of two implicitely defined surfaces. http://www.telospub.com/journal/MIER/ Allan --------------------- Allan Hayes Mathematica Training and Consulting Leicester UK www.haystack.demon.co.uk hay at haystack.demon.co.uk Voice: +44 (0)116 271 4198 Fax: +44 (0)870 164 0565 "Jordan Maclay" <jordanmaclay at quantumfields.com> wrote in message news:831fmn$d9j at smc.vnet.net... > > How can I determine the coordinates of the intersection of two surfaces > generated in a 3d contour plot?
