 Abstract:
 
 Systems of algebraic equations with finitely many solutions arise in many areas of applied mathematics. Among these are motion planning, robotics, computer-aided design, and graphics. We will discuss the design and implementation of a hybrid symbolic-numeric method, and a Mathematica implementation thereof, that finds all solutions to an algebraic system. It makes use of numeric Gröbner bases and arbitrary-precision numeric eigenvalue computation. We explain in outline how this works, and give a few examples that demonstrate how this can be useful technology independent of Newton's method local solvers.
