A Numerical Approach to Real Algebraic Curves with the Wolfram Language

Bridging the gap between the sophisticated topic of real algebraic curve theory and on-the-spot computation and visualization of real algebraic curves, author Barry H. Dayton uses the Wolfram Language to explore and analyze real curves that often do not have rational points on them. In classical texts, analysis of these types of real curves was only really possible in the theoretical sense, but the Wolfram Language' s ability to work with machine numbers, both in calculations and in detailed plots, enables accurate analysis of extremely complicated curves. This book is intended for those with some understanding of calculus, partial derivatives and basic knowledge of the Wolfram Language. Available for Kindle Fire, iPad or other tablets.
