Elementary introduction to stable maps and quantum cohomology presents the problem of counting rational plane curves

Viewpoint is mostly that of enumerative geometry

Emphasis is on examples, heuristic discussions, and simple applications to best convey the intuition behind the subject

Ideal for self-study, for a mini-course in quantum cohomology, or as a special topics text in a standard course in intersection theory
