Abstract. There are three standard ways to implicitize a rational
curve or surface: resultants, Gröbner bases and Ritt-Wu's method.
The resultant method can fail in the presence of base points, and
Gröbner bases and Ritt-Wu's method are computationally slow.
In this talk, we introduce a new method called moving curves and
surfaces to implicitize a rational curve or surface. The new method
can write the implicit equation in a relatively low order of determinant,
and it works even in the presence of base points.
