Don, One way of approaching intersections is through Grassmann's regressive product. See Chapters 3 and 4 at http://www.ses.swin.edu.au/homes/browne/grassmannalgebra/book/ If you would like any specific formulas generated that you don't find here, please let me know. (However, I will be incommunicado from now until June 16) John On 25/05/2004, at 9:18 PM, Don Taylor wrote: > In n-dimensional euclidian space n (n-1)-dimensional objects > intersect at a unique point.
