What this shows is not that the two surfaces do not intersect but only that you can's simultaneusly choose values of t and s which give a point of intersection. This is a rather different matter. If we want to find a point of intersection rather than a point of intersection which corresponds to the same values of the parameters, we have to treat the parameters as independent. One way to proceed is as follows: c3 = {x - (t^2 - 1), y - (s^3 + s - 4), z - (t + s)}; c4 = {x - (s^2 + s + 5), y - (t^2 + 7 t - 2), z - (t + s^2/2)}; g1 = GroebnerBasis[c3, {x, y, z}, {t, s}]; g2 = GroebnerBasis[c4, {x, y, z}, {t, s}]; g = GroebnerBasis[Join[g1, g2], {x, y, z}, MonomialOrder -> EliminationOrder]; {x^4 - 8*z*x^3 - 48*x^3 + 24*z^2*x^2 - 8*y*x^2 + 284*z*x^2 + 736*x^2 - 32*z^3*x - 560*z^2*x + 176*y*x + 32*y*z*x - 2848*z*x - 4068*x + 16*z^4 + 368*z^3 + 16*y^2 - 32*y*z^2 + 2756*z^2 - 564*y - 368*y*z + 7360*z + 7483, z^6 - 3*x*z^4 - z^4 - 2*y*z^3 - 8*z^3 + 3*x^2*z^2 + 6*x*z^2 + 4*z^2 - 24*x*z - 6*x*y*z - 8*y*z - 32*z - x^3 - 5*x^2 + y^2 - 8*x + 8*y + 12} Now, sols = NSolve[g == 0, {x, y, z}, WorkingPrecision -> 100]; During evaluation of In[11]:= NSolve::"infsolns" : "Infinite solution set has dimension at least 1 . Returning intersection of solutions with (28373 x)/30371-(85901 y)/60742+z == 1. I have supressed the solutions but we can check one of them: In[7]:= Chop[g1 /. First[sols]] Out[7]= {0} In[8]:= Chop[g2 /. First[sols]] Out[8]= {0} So we certianly do have solutions, even an infinte set of solutions, but none of them correspond to the same values of s and t. I am not sure if that is what you wanted or not. Andrzej Kozlowski
