  2. Intersection number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intersection_number

    The definition given below is for the intersection number of divisors on a nonsingular variety X. 1. The only intersection number that can be calculated directly from the definition is the intersection of hypersurfaces (subvarieties of X of codimension one) that are in general position at x.

  3. Intersection - Wikipedia

    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 ...

  4. Intersection (geometry) - Wikipedia

    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.

    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 ...

  6. General position - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_position

    This definition can be generalized further: one may speak of points in general position with respect to a fixed class of algebraic relations (e.g. conic sections).In algebraic geometry this kind of condition is frequently encountered, in that points should impose independent conditions on curves passing through them.

  7. Intersection theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intersection_theory

    To give a definition, in the general case, of the intersection multiplicity was the major concern of André Weil's 1946 book Foundations of Algebraic Geometry. Work in the 1920s of B. L. van der Waerden had already addressed the question; in the Italian school of algebraic geometry the ideas were well known, but foundational questions were not ...

  8. Line–line intersection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Line–line_intersection

    There will be an intersection if 0 ≤ t ≤ 1 and 0 ≤ u ≤ 1. The intersection point falls within the first line segment if 0 ≤ t ≤ 1, and it falls within the second line segment if 0 ≤ u ≤ 1. These inequalities can be tested without the need for division, allowing rapid determination of the existence of any line segment ...

    Rational number is any number that can be expressed as the quotient or fraction p/q of two integers, with the denominator q not equal to zero. [9] Since q may be equal to 1, every integer is a rational number. The set of all rational numbers is usually denoted by a boldface Q (or blackboard bold).
