Title: Numerical Algebraic Geometry

Abstract: Based on numerical methods for polynomial homotopy continuation, numerical algebraic geometry provides a way to find and study solutions of systems of polynomial equations. I will give a basic introduction to the subject and give two examples of applications at two ends of the wide spectrum of possible applications. One relates to image reconstruction in computer vision and another to detecting embedded components of an affine scheme.
