CAS Syntax

NSolutions[ <Equation>, <Variable> ]
Finds numerically the list of solutions to the given equation for the given unknown variable.
Examples:
NSolutions[cos(x) = x, x= 0] yields {0.74}
NSolutions[a^4 + 34a^3 - 34, a] yields the list {-34, 0.99}.
Note: It is optional to give the starting point like a=3.
NSolutions[ <Equation>, <Variable = starting value> ]
Finds numerically the list of solutions to the given equation for the given unknown variable with its starting value.
Example:
NSolutions[a^4 + 34a^3 - 34, a=3] yields the list {-34, 0.99}.
NSolutions[ <List of Equations>, <List of Variables> ]
Finds numerically the list of solutions to the given set of equations for the given set of unknown variables.
Example:
NSolutions[{π / x = cos(x - 2y), 2 y - π = sin(x)}, {x=3, y=1.5}] yields the list {3.14, 1.57}
