S0=bertiniTrackHomotopy(t, H, S1)
This method calls Bertini to track a user-defined homotopy. The user needs to specify the homotopy H, the path variable t, and a list of start solutions S1. Bertini (1) writes the homotopy and start solutions to temporary files, (2) invokes Bertini's solver with configuration keyword UserHomotopy => 1 in the affine case and UserHomotopy => 2 in the projective situation, (3) stores the output of Bertini in a temporary file, and (4) parses a machine readable file to output a list of solutions.

In the previous example, we solved $x^2-2$ by moving from $x^2-1$ with a linear homotopy. Bertini tracks homotopies starting at $t=1$ and ending at $t=0$. Final solutions are of the type Point.
