Published by Springer in 2006, here is the second edition hardback printing of Saugata Basu, Richard Pollack and Marie-Francoise Roy's Algorithms in Real Algebraic Geometry (Algorithms and Computation in Mathematics, Volume 10). Paper covered pictorial boards, 662 pages and issued without a dust jacket, the book is in near fine condition with some light finger marking to the covers and outsides of the page edges plus some bumping to the edges of the boards. The book is very heavy and therefore additional postage MUST be applied to areas OUTSIDE the UK as follows: Europe £5, Rest of the World £7. UK postage is as quoted and will be tracked for this item.

- Book 11 of 24: Algorithms and Computation in Mathematics
The algorithmic problems of real algebraic geometry such as real root counting, deciding the existence of solutions of systems of polynomial equations and inequalities, finding global maxima or deciding whether two points belong in the same connected component of a semi-algebraic set appear frequently in many areas of science and engineering. In this textbook 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, real root isolation, global optimization, quantitative results on semi-algebraic sets and the first single exponential algorithm computing their first Betti number.

From the Back Cover
The algorithmic problems of real algebraic geometry such as real root counting, deciding the existence of solutions of systems of polynomial equations and inequalities, finding global maxima or deciding whether two points belong in the same connected component of a semi-algebraic set appear frequently in many areas of science and engineering. 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, and 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 revised second edition contains several recent results, notably on discriminants of symmetric matrices, real root isolation, global optimization, quantitative results on semi-algebraic sets and the first single exponential algorithm computing their first Betti number. An index of notation has also been added.
