Abstract
We present {\tt RandomPoints}, a package in \emph{Macaulay2} designed mainly to identify rational and geometric points in a variety over a finite field. We provide tools to estimate the dimension of a variety. We also present methods to obtain non-vanishing minors of a given size in a given matrix, by evaluating the matrix at a point.
