Paul Breiding, Bernd Sturmfels, Sascha Timme · Notices of the American Mathematical Society · 2019
This article and its accompanying web interface present Steiner’s conic problem and a discussion on how enumerative and numerical algebraic geometry complement each other. The intended audience is students at an advanced undergrad level. Readers can see current computational tools in action on a geometry problem that has inspired scholars for two centuries.
