Important Note: These notebooks have been checked for compatibility with Mathematica 12. As a result Chapters 9, 10 and Appendix 2 have now been revised as of August 29, 2019. If you have not upgraded these chapters since this date you should do so now.

Here are individual chapter notebooks for download. Unike the Wolfram zip file navigation between these individually downloaded files will not work correctly. The author, Barry H. Dayton, reserves the right to make changes to these notebooks with corrections, clarifications and possibly even add new material so these notebooks will not necessarily be identical to the ones in the Wolfram Media .zip file. These changed notebooks will not be distributed in any other format.

There is no or introduction, front matter here. You should look at the Kindle or paperback edition or the free article version at A Wolfram Language approach to Real Numerical Algebraic Plane Curves (PDF 3.4 MB)

Here are my chapter notebooks. Even if you don't specifically want to see it, it is a good idea to download Appendix 2, Global Functions and Evaluate Initialization Cells before working with any of these notebooks as some needed functions are given in that notebook.

Appendix 1 now includes new information on Bezout's theorem.
