Exact computations on curves


With rational Puiseux expansions you may get more than with classical Puiseux expansions for a lower price! A slight modification of Newton's polygon method speeds up the computations and yields additional invariants (the residual fields):

The factorisation of bivariate polynomials with complex coefficients is quite "similar" to the factorisation of univariate polynomials over a finite field:
