Algebraic Geometry is the study of systems of polynomial equations in one or more variables, asking such questions as: does the system have finitely many solutions, and if so how can one find them? And if there are infinitely many solutions, how can they be described and manipulated? The solutions of a system of polynomial equations form a ...
The algorithmic problems of real algebraic geometry such as real root counting, deciding the existence of solutions of systems of polynomial equations and inequalities, finding global maxima or deciding whether two points belong in the same connected component of a semi-algebraic set appear frequently in many areas of science and engineering. In ...
In the last decade, there has been a burgeoning of activity in the design and implementation of algorithms for algebraic geometric computation. Some of these algorithms were originally designed for abstract algebraic geometry, but now are of interest for use in applications and some of these algorithms were originally designed for applications, ...
The interplay between algebra and geometry is a beautiful (and fun!) area of mathematical investigation. Recent advances in computing and algorithms make it possible to tackle many classical problems in a down-to-earth and concrete fashion. This opens wonderful new vistas and allows us to pose, study and solve problems that were previously out of ...
This book demonstrates that classical problems of computational geometry can be solved when the input and output data are on surfaces other than the plane, but that planar techniques cannot always be adapted successfully, and new techniques must be considered. Well-known problems from computational geometry are adapted to cases where the objects ...
Despite the fact that Maple V has become one of the most popular computer algebra systems on the market, surprisingly few users realize its potential in the field of scientific visualization. The purpose of this book is to equip the reader with a variety of graphics tools needed on the voyage of discovery into the complex and often beautiful world ...
This book presents algorithmic tools for algebraic geometry and experimental applications of them. It also introduces a software system in which the tools have been implemented and with which the experiments can be carried out. Macaulay 2 is a computer algebra system devoted to supporting research in algebraic geometry, commutative algebra, and ...
These volumes contain carefully edited selections of papers that were presented at the Symposium on Trends in Approximation Theory, held in May 2000, and at the Oslo Conference on Mathematical Methods for Curves and Surfaces, held in July 2000. Both contain several invited surveys written by leading experts in the field, along with contributed ...
An examination of the design and control of rational surfaces by computer-aided techniques. The authors also explain the control of rational curves and provide a listing of useful BASIC and PASCAL programs designed to aid the practical application of the methods described.
This book introduces readers to key ideas and applications of computational algebraic geometry. Beginning with the discovery of Grobner bases and fueled by the advent of modern computers and the rediscovery of resultants, computational algebraic geometry has grown rapidly in importance. The fact that 'crunching equations' is now as easy as ...
This publication gives a good insight in the interplay between commutative and non-commutative algebraic geometry. The theoretical and computational aspects are the central theme in this study. The topic is looked at from different perspectives in over 20 lecture reports. It emphasizes the current trends in commutative and non-commutative ...
"Curves and Surfaces for Geometric Design" offers both a theoretically unifying understanding of polynomial curves and surfaces and an effective approach to implementation that you can bring to bear on your own work whether you're a graduate student, scientist, or practitioner. Inside, the focus is on 'blossoming' the process of converting a ...
The theory and practice of computation in algebraic geometry has experienced a vigorous development over the past few years, which was discussed at the "MEGA-92" Nice conference. These expositions should prove useful to professional mathematicians and graduate students.
Presents a detailed treatment of algorithms concerning the arithmetic of elliptic curves, complete with computer implementation. Elliptic curves are of central importance in computational number theory, with applications in such areas as cryptography, primality testing and factorization.
