To create:

• Nonlinear algebra - currently redirects to Algebraic equation. We have a draft under construction: (Draft:Nonlinear algebra)
• Numerical certification (Draft:Numerical certification)
• Syzygy (mathematics) - currently redirects to Hilbert syzygy theorem. We have a draft under construction: (Draft:Syzygy (mathematics))
• Real nullstellensatz
• Real radical (Draft:Real radical)
• Computational algebraic geometry - needs to be a main page, currently a section in Algebraic geometry
• Start system - linked to from numerical algebraic geometry

To improve:

• System of polynomial equations - article doesn't represent the current state of the art
• Numerical algebraic geometry - article is stubby
• Algebraic statistics - article doesn't represent the current state of the art
• Tropical geometry - quite short
• Dimension of an algebraic variety - needs improvement (has tag)
• Symbolic-numeric computation
• Stewart platform - introduce a mathematical perspective
• Numerical continuation - needs backward references to the numerical algebraic geometry flavor of homotopy continuation
• Spectrahedron - very short
