Opening the development of PHCpack
Jan Verschelde
Abstract:
PHCpack originated from bundling programs to solve polynomial systems
with symbolic-numeric and polyhedral methods. The core of PHCpack
consists mostly of Ada code, with interfaces to C and Python.
Its blackbox solver is accessible from various scientific software packages
such as Macaulay2, Maple, MATLAB, Octave, and Sage.
The goal of the talk is to explain the application of software engineering
principles and the role of Ada in the development of PHCpack.
