This is the first graduate textbook on the algorithmic aspects of real algebraic geometry. The main ideas and techniques presented form a coherent and rich body of knowledge. Mathematicians will find relevant information about the algorithmic aspects. Researchers in computer science and engineering will find the required mathematical background. Being self-contained the book is accessible to graduate students and even, for invaluable parts of it, to undergraduate students. This second edition contains several recent results on discriminants of symmetric matrices and other relevant topics.

Algorithms in Real Algebraic Geometry

This volume is a collection of refereed expository and research articles in discrete and computational geometry written by leaders in the field. Articles are based on invited talks presented at the AMS-IMS-SIAM Summer Research Conference, ``Discrete and Computational Geometry: Ten Years Later'', held in 1996 at Mt. Holyoke College (So. Hadley, MA). Topics addressed range from tilings, polyhedra, and arrangements to computational topology and visibility problems. Included are papers on the interaction between real algebraic geometry and discrete and computational geometry, as well as on linear programming and geometric discrepancy theory.

The Cat, The Fiddle and Me is a children's song for people of all ages. It's about the fantastic voyage of three imaginary friends, a feline, a fiddle and a child. It's a magical journey to "places that no one has seen." Think of as "Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds" meets "Rainbow Connection" This charming and enchanting story set to a lyrical song brings alive The Cat, The Fiddle and Me. Arranged to a sweetly poetic song, these three unlikely friends visit mystical lands and meet mythical characters including a musical walrus and a gentle giant's "friendly pet lion who loves macaroni and cheese." It's a whimsical fairy tale that appeals to children and adults alike. Beautiful and fanciful illustrations bring the story alive which capture the color and detail of the illustrations. Singer, songwriter and entertainer, Larry Keen, has spent a lifetime playing his special blend of folk, rock and country music from New York to LA and everywhere in between. The musical and lyrical writing team of RJ, Cino and Keener are delighted to bring you this magical journey. Dazzling Art & Illustrations by Colleen Taylor, Taylor Art and Designs

A Magical Songbook Journey

The Cat, The Fiddle and Me

In this first-ever graduate textbook on the algorithmic aspects of real algebraic geometry, the main ideas and techniques presented form a coherent and rich body of knowledge, linked to many areas of mathematics and computing. Mathematicians already aware of real algebraic geometry will find relevant information about the algorithmic aspects. Researchers in computer science and engineering will find the required mathematical background. This self-contained book is accessible to graduate and undergraduate students.
