Helen Barton Lecture: “Real Numerical Algebraic Geometry and Applications”

Helen Barton Lecture Series
Petty Science Building Room 150 317 College Ave, Greensboro

Nonlinear polynomial equations naturally arise throughout mathematics, science, and engineering with their solutions describing various phenomena including the motion of a mechanical linkage such as a robotic arm and steady states of a dynamical system arising from a biochemical reaction network. Polynomials are central to some of the deepest mathematics and have been studied for millennia.
