Basic types (such as Point and WitnessSet) are defined in the package NAGtypes.

Basic functions:

• track -- track a linear segment homotopy given start and target system
• solveSystem -- solve a system of polynomial equations
• refine -- refine numerical solutions to a system of polynomial equations
• totalDegreeStartSystem -- construct a start system for the total degree homotopy
• numericalIrreducibleDecomposition -- constructs a numerical variety defined by the given ideal
• sample -- sample a point on a component
• isSubset(NumericalVariety,NumericalVariety)

Service functions:

• Many service functions (such as areEqual and sortSolutions) are defined in the package NAGtypes.
• setDefault -- set/get the default parameters for continuation algorithms
• getDefault -- set/get the default parameters for continuation algorithms
• NAGtrace -- set the trace level in NumericalAlgebraicGeometry package
• newton -- Newton-Raphson method
• isOn -- determines if a point belongs to a variety
• union
• removeRedundantComponents -- remove redundant components

Functions related to Certified tracking:

• randomInitialPair -- a random initial pair
• goodInitialPair -- make an initial pair conjectured to be good by Shub and Smale
• randomSd -- a random homogeneous system of polynomial equations
