Abstract

Numerical algebraic geometry is a research area that aims to use numerical methods to solve systems of polynomial equations. Sometimes, these numerical algorithms can be turned into theoretical, exact proofs, as we will see. The lectures will cover two major research directions in numerical algebraic geometry: the theory of normal forms and homotopy continuation methods.
