Real Algebraic Geometry

In this page, we will see how to perform basic operations with polynomials and rational functions in Macaulay.

Sum of Squares

Fractions

Given a polynomial ring R over a domain, we can work on its field of fractions simply by S = frac R. One issue with this operation is that the Jacobian and differentials will not work over the field of rational functions, as far as I can understand (which is not much)
