Doug,
Use the SameTest option in Intersection.
set1 = {{1.01, 5}, {2.1, 4}, {4.3, 4}};
set2 = {{1.02, 4}, {3, 8}, {4.305, 8}};
Intersection[set1, set2,
SameTest -> (Abs[Part[#1, 1] - Part[#2, 1]] < 0.05 &)]
{{1.01, 5}, {4.3, 4}}
Look up Function in Help for an explanation of pure functions.

Hello,
I am working on a project with my son and, essentially, we have two data
sets with discrete points. These data sets intersect at various points.
Without fitting a line to the data, is there a way to determine these
intersections? I've already considered set intersection but that won't work
because the x-axis datum do not match exactly.
For example,
Set1 {{1.01,5},{2.1,4},{4.3,4}}
Set2 {{1.02,4},{3,8},{4.305,8})
I would like to be able to identify x=1.01 and x=4.3 as matches.
Thoughts?
Thanks!
Doug
