REFERENCES

http://www.maa.org/pubs/monthly_oct08_toc.html, Enumerative Algebraic Geometry of Conics By: Andrew Bashelor, Amy Ksir and Will Traves andrew.bashelor(AT)mac.com, ksir(AT)usna.edu, traves(AT)usna.edu A recent undergraduate project dealt with Steiner's problem: How many conics are simultaneously tangent to five fixed conics? This challenging problem can be solved by first tackling a collection of easier enumerative problems involving conics, lines and points. Many beautiful ideas in algebraic geometry make an appearance along the way. Complicated tools like moduli spaces, blowing-up, duality and cohomology are both natural and accessible when studied in this context. A list of fun problems develops connections to other topics, such as string theory and kissing spheres.

FORMULA

Triangle is divided by 2^(6-n) by levels.
