[R] shaded area between a curve and a circle

[Jinsong Zhao]

The figure is not ok. The coordinate of the normal curve is not the same 
as that of the circle. In fact, there are only four intersections other 
than eight that your figure show.

Best,

The figure is ok, but my problem is: How to shade the areas A, B, C, D, E and F? I know I have to find the points of intersection but I don't know how to find them. Suggestions will be welcome.
