Key Tools
A number of tools, ranging from the elementary to the more advanced, include:
- Dimension counting
- Bézout's theorem
- Schubert calculus, and more generally characteristic classes in cohomology
- The connection of counting intersections with cohomology is Poincaré duality
- The study of moduli spaces of curves, maps and other geometric objects, sometimes via the theory of quantum cohomology.
Enumerative geometry is very closely tied to intersection theory.
