sci-mathematics tomka@gentoo.org Bertini: Software for Numerical Algebraic Geometry Facts in brief: Purpose: The numerical solution of systems of polynomial equations Approach: Homotopy continuation. Authors: Daniel J. Bates, Jonathan D. Hauenstein, Andrew J. Sommese, Charles W. Wampler Background: Bertini is a general-purpose solver, written in C, that was created for research about polynomial continuation. Cost: Bertini is distributed free of charge on an ``as is'' basis with no warranties, implied or otherwise, that it is suitable for any purpose. Its intended usage is educational, so that the user may gain a greater understanding of numerical homotopy continuation for solving systems of polynomial equations. Any other use is strictly the user's responsibility. Please see the official license policy.
