Information
Main Conference:
Joint Mathematics Meetings
January 4-7, 2017 (Wed-Sat).
Location: Hyatt Regency Atlanta and Marriott Atlanta Marquis, Atlanta, GA.
Our session: All talks are Thursday January 5 between
8-10:50 and 1-3:50 (Room: International 4, International Level, Marriott Marquis Atlanta).
Numerical algebraic geometry uses numerical methods to compute algebraic varieties.
Using such operations as slicing, homotopy continuation, monodromy, and deflation, one can compute such things as positive dimensional varieties, zero dimensional solution sets, and singularities.
This session features speakers on advances in the theory of the field,
as well as its applications throughout math, science, and industry.
Applications which have driven the development of the field have included chemical and biological reaction networks, robotics and kinematics, algebraic statistics, and tropical geometry.
Schedule: (Reservations for a dinner will be made).

Blackboards or whiteboards will not be available, but the room will be equipped with a computer projection system and screen (but not a computer). 2. The rules of AMS do not allow a Speaker to present the same talk in multiple Special Sessions at this conference. List of other special sessions.
3. Talks will be 18-20 minutes followed by 10-minute breaks (At 18 minutes, a signal will be given if desired). 4. Abstracts are kindly encouraged to be submitted here soon after accepting the invitation (Thank you for submiting your abstracts!). 5. The Special Session number is 62. 6. All participants, including speakers and organizers, must register for the meeting and pay the registration fee. 7. Housing reservation information can be found here. Additional Numerical AG Workday On January 8 (Sunday, the day after the JMM concludes) there will be a numerical algebraic geometry workday at Georgia Tech organized by Dani Brake together with Dan Bates and Anton Leykin.
