Abstract
In classical differential geometry, the problem of the determination of the position vector of an arbitrary space curve according to the intrinsic equations and (where and are the curvature and torsion of the space curve , respectively) is still open \cite{eisenh, lips}. However, in the case of a plane curve, helix and general helix, this problem is solved. In this paper, we solved this problem in the case of a slant helix. Also, we applied this method to find the representation of a Salkowski, anti-Salkowski curves and a curve of constant precession, as examples of a slant helices, by means of intrinsic equations.
