    Abstract

    Plotting solution sets for particular equations may be complicated by the
    existence of turning points. Here we describe an algorithm which not only
    overcomes such problematic points, but does so in the most general of settings.
    Applications of the algorithm are highlighted through two examples: the first
    provides verification, while the second demonstrates a non-trivial application.
    The latter is followed by a thorough run-time analysis. While both examples
    deal with bivariate equations, it is discussed how the algorithm may be
    generalized for space curves in $\R^{3}$.
