Is there an algorithm for parametrization of equations?

146 Views Asked by At

In this and this Math.SE questions askers wanted to parametrize their equations.

It seems to me that one has to, without the algorithm, figure out a symbolic trick and then symbolically manipulate the expressions to get the proper parametrization.

For example: $x^{2/3} + y^{2/3} = 1 $ and $z^3 = x^2$.

One could pick $x = \sin^3{t}$, $y = \cos^3{t}$ and $z = \cos^2{t}$.

That's a trick. Still, this kind of parametrization might not be pleasant for constructing osculating planes and similar.

So, is there a simple algorithm (something one can do easily using pen and paper) for parametrizing any two-three variable equation?

If there was an easy algorithm, then you could "easily" parametrize $ax^5+bx^4+cx^3+dx^2+ex+f=y$, $y=0$ giving an elementary solution to a quintic equation, which we know is impossible. Parametrizing equations still means you need to solve them, and some equations are hard or impossible to solve by elementary means.
