Steiner claimed that the number of conics tangent to 5 given conics in general position is 7776 = 6 5, but later realized this was wrong. [2] The correct number 3264 was found in about 1859 by Ernest de Jonquières who did not publish because of Steiner's reputation, and by Chasles using his theory of characteristics, [3] and by Berner in 1865.
One says that “the affine plane does not have a good intersection theory”, and intersection theory on non-projective varieties is much more difficult. A line on a P 1 × P 1 (which can also be interpreted as the non-singular quadric Q in P 3) has self-intersection 0, since a line can be moved off itself. (It is a ruled surface.)

The study of moduli spaces of curves, maps and other geometric objects, sometimes via the theory of quantum cohomology. The study of quantum cohomology, Gromov–Witten invariants and mirror symmetry gave a significant progress in Clemens conjecture. Enumerative geometry is very closely tied to intersection theory. [1]
