This second class consists of polynomial formulations of enumerative geometric problems, and in this case Question 1.1 is the motivating question of enumerative real algebraic geometry, the subject of this survey. Treating both sparse polynomial systems and enumerative geometry together in the context of Question 1.1 gives useful insight.","PeriodicalId":363327,"journal":{"name":"Algorithmic and Quantitative Aspects of Real Algebraic Geometry in Mathematics and Computer Science","volume":"189 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2001-07-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116343981","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
