 cations\nAbstract: Nonlinear polynomial equations naturally arise througho
 ut mathematics, science, and engineering with their solutions describing v
 arious phenomena including the motion of a mechanical linkage such as a ro
 botic arm and steady states of a dynamical system arising from a biochemic
 al reaction network. Polynomials are central to some of the deepest mathem
 atics and have been studied for millennia. The advent of modern computers 
 has ushered in a new wave of algorithms for computing solution sets to sys
 tems of polynomial equations, both from an algebraic and geometric perspec
 tive. This talk will highlight algorithms for numerically computing and re
 presenting solutions to systems of polynomial equations, collectively call
 ed numerical algebraic geometry.Since the physically-meaningful solutions 
 in most applications are real, recent developments in real numerical algeb
 raic geometry will be discussed anddemonstrated on several applications in
  science and engineering.\n
