Description

i1 : R = CC[x,y,z]

o1 = R

o1 : PolynomialRing

i2 : sph = (x^2+y^2+z^2-1); 

i3 : I = ideal {sph*(y-x^2), sph*(z-x^3)};

o3 : Ideal of R

i4 : numericalIrreducibleDecomposition I 

o4 = a numerical variety with components in
     dim 1:  (dim=1,deg=3)
     dim 2:  (dim=2,deg=2)

o4 : NumericalVariety
