Who was Bezout? -- Zoe


I think it was Etienne Bézout. -- Anon.


This article could also be made a whole lot clearer: at the moment, it's very imprecise, and confusing. -- Anon.

What do you find imprecise and confusing? --Bernard Helmstetter 18:43, 20 Dec 2004 (UTC)

An hyperbola? Charles Matthews 12:43, 27 Oct 2004 (UTC)

I think it is A hyperbola. --Bernard Helmstetter 18:43, 20 Dec 2004 (UTC)

[edit] why speak about mathematics in general before algebraic geometry ?

The text begins with a somewhat vague definition of the theorem in mathematics in general, and then only in algebraic geometry. I don't understand this distinction; to me, the theorem is really about algebraic geometry. --Bernard Helmstetter 18:31, 20 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Bezout's is a fundamental theorem in projective geometry, although any study of algebraic geometry requires it (since we do algebra on projective varieties mostly).
