We consider the problem of enumerating maps f of degree d from a fixed general curve C of genus g to ℙr satisfying incidence conditions of the form f(pi)∈ Xi, where pi∈ C are general points and Xi⊂ℙr are general linear spaces. We give a complete answer in the case where the Xi are points, where the counts, the ``Tevelev degrees'' of ℙr, were previously known only when r=1, when d is large compared to r,g, or virtually in Gromov-Witten theory. We also give a complete answer in the case r=2 with arbitrary incidence conditions. Our main approach studies the behavior of complete collineations under various degenerations.
