Wind
This is an small piece of C code to compute the number of real roots of a (3,n)-fewnomial system. The main interest of this application is the implementation of a very fast and reliable algorithm for computing winding numbers.
The documentation is part of the report on the implementation, and includes the references for the algorithm. The source code is commented and can be used for other applications of winding numbers (released under the GPL license).
