Pencils of Cubics and Algebraic Curves in the Real Projective Plane

Pencils of Cubics and Algebraic Curves in the Real Projective Plane thoroughly examines the combinatorial configurations of n generic points in RP². Especially how it is the data describing the mutual position of each point with respect to lines and conics passing through others.

The first section in this book answers questions such as, can one count the combinatorial configurations up to the actio...
