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]
A fundamental issue in algebraic geometry is intersection theory. The Chow ring has many advantages and is widely used. The Chow associated forms give a description of the moduli space of the algebraic varieties in projective space. It gives a beautiful solution of an important problem.
Since André Weil's initial definition of intersection numbers, around 1949, there had been a question of how to provide a more flexible and computable theory, which Serre sought to address. In 1958, Serre realized that classical algebraic-geometric ideas of multiplicity could be generalized using the concepts of homological algebra .
Sucharitha Gamlath (10 March 1934 – 30 March 2013) was a veteran professor of Sinhala, and a bright student of the Peradeniya University. After that he functioned as the dean of the Sinhala Language Faculty of the Jaffna University. He has also served in the University of Ruhuna and Rajarata University of Sri Lanka, Sri Lanka. [1]
