Introduction to Enumerative Geometry

Abstract:

The basic question of enumerative geometry can be simply stated as:
How many geometric objects of a given type satisfy given geometric conditions?

For instance, one may ask for the number of lines through 2 points in the plane, or the number of conics through 5 points in the plane. 

The purpose of this talk is to give an introduction to counting problems in algebraic geometry.
