Algebraic curves and surfaces are an old topic of geometric and algebraic investigation. They have found applications for instance in ancient and modern architectural designs, in number theoretic problems, in models of biological shapes, in error-correcting codes, and in cryptographic algorithms. Recently they have gained additional practical importance as central objects in computer-aided geometric design. Modern airplanes, cars, and household appliances would be unthinkable without the computational manipulation of algebraic curves and surfaces. Algebraic curves and surfaces combine fascinating mathematical beauty with challenging computational complexity and wide spread practical applicability.
