Description
Real algebraic geometry, with its emphasis on real solutions to polynomial equations and inequalities, has great potential as a tool for the applied sciences. This workshop will feature a mixture of applications of real algebraic geometry, as well as theoretical advances in algorithms and in effective combinatorial questions in real algebraic geometry. Among the topics featured in the workshop will be Real solutions to polynomial systems and applications Positive polynomials and sums of squares Applications of real algebraic geometry in geometric modeling and CAD
