The Pisces Project
Pisces is a Platform for Implicit Surfaces and Curves and the
Exploration of Singularities. The goal of Pisces is to provide tools
for researchers and educators who want to compute the set
of points that satisfy some equation. Pisces is potentially useful to
mathematicians and scientists in a variety of fields, including
algebraic geometry, astrophysics, computer-aided geometric design, and
dynamical systems.
- What is Pisces?
