What is Bertini?

Bertini is a general-purpose solver for research on polynomial continuation. It solves systems of polynomial equations using homotopy continuation.

Bertini was written in the C language by Daniel J. Bates, Jonathan D. Hauenstein, Andrew J. Sommese, and Charles W. Wampler. It is distributed free of charge with no warranties, implied or otherwise, that it is suitable for any purpose. Its intended usage is educational, so that the user may gain a greater understanding of numerical homotopy continuation for solving systems of polynomial equations. Any other use is strictly the user's responsibility.
