Introduction

Bertini is software for numerical algebraic geometry, i.e., software for computing and using numerical approximations of solutions of polynomial systems. Bertini 2 is the redevelopment of classic Bertini (1).

Purpose for redevelopment

Bertini developed started around 2002, with the initial beta release in 2006. As with virtually all code, Bertini outgrew its original scope and development plan. Maintenance and extension have become increasingly difficult.

The NSF has kindly chosen to support this redevelopment through awards to University of Notre Dame and Colorado State University. Any opinions, findings, and conclusions or recommendations expressed in this material are those of the authors and do not necessarily reflect the views of the National Science Foundation.

A few central developers are currently working on core development. If you are interested in contributing, please contact a member of the development team - see contributors.
