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
