    The intersection (red) of two disks (white and red with black boundaries). The circle (black) intersects the line (purple) in two points (red). The disk (yellow) intersects the line in the line segment between the two red points. The intersection of D and E is shown in grayish purple. The intersection of A with any of B, C, D, or E is the empty ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intersection_(set_theory)

    So the intersection of the empty family should be the universal set (the identity element for the operation of intersection), [4] but in standard set theory, the universal set does not exist. However, when restricted to the context of subsets of a given fixed set X {\displaystyle X} , the notion of the intersection of an empty collection of ...

    The intersection points are: (−0.8587, 0.7374, −0.6332), (0.8587, 0.7374, 0.6332). A line–sphere intersection is a simple special case. Like the case of a line and a plane, the intersection of a curve and a surface in general position consists of discrete points, but a curve may be partly or totally contained in a surface.

    A mathematical symbol is a figure or a combination of figures that is used to represent a mathematical object, an action on mathematical objects, a relation between mathematical objects, or for structuring the other symbols that occur in a formula. As formulas are entirely constituted with symbols of various types, many symbols are needed for ...

    The intersection is the meet/infimum of and with respect to because: if L ∩ R ⊆ L {\displaystyle L\cap R\subseteq L} and L ∩ R ⊆ R , {\displaystyle L\cap R\subseteq R,} and if Z {\displaystyle Z} is a set such that Z ⊆ L {\displaystyle Z\subseteq L} and Z ⊆ R {\displaystyle Z\subseteq R} then Z ⊆ L ∩ R . {\displaystyle Z ...

    Intersection distributes over union = () and union distributes over intersection [2] = (). The power set of a set ⁠ U {\displaystyle U} ⁠ , together with the operations given by union, intersection , and complementation , is a Boolean algebra .

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vesica_piscis

    The vesica piscis is the intersection of two congruent disks, each centered on the perimeter of the other. The vesica piscis is a type of lens, a mathematical shape formed by the intersection of two disks with the same radius, intersecting in such a way that the center of each disk lies on the perimeter of the other.
