Many Paths<br />

Three people live on the unit sphere, and are going to walk from the North Pole (0, 0, 1) to the South Pole<br />

(0, 0, −1). The first person walks along the arc of a great circle that lies in one of the coordinate planes. The<br />

second walks along an arc of a great circle that does not lie in one of the coordinate planes, and the third walks<br />

along a curve that spirals once around the sphere. Find parametric equations that describe possible paths for<br />

each person.<br />
