Andrew Clark Bashelor, Amy Ksir, Will Traves · American Mathematical Monthly · 2008
sity of Berlin, posed the following problem [19]: Given five conics in the plane, are there any conics that are tangent to all five? If so, how many are there? Problems that ask for the number of geometric objects with given properties are known as enumera-tive problems in algebraic geometry. The tools developed to solve these problems have
