Syntax

numerical_solve(Equation, ..., Equation)

Given an equation or system of equations, finds a solution using some numerical methods.

Below is a complete list of options that may be used in the numerical_solve function.

Option	Description	Format	Default value
method	We can choose the method to be used from the following: `bisection`, `newton`, `regula_falsi`, `secant`.	String. `{method="bisection"}`	By default, the best method is selected.
initial_point	The initial point for the numerical solver. When using `secant`, `bisection` or `regula_falsi`, two points need to be provided, and the function must have the opposite sign on those points.	A real number. `{initial_point=1.0, method="newton"}`.	By default, the best point is selected.
system_method	We can choose the method to be used for the system resolution from the following: `broyden`, `newton` and `steffenson`.	`{system_method=”newton”}`	`{system_method="broyden"}`
tolerance	We can choose the tolerance to be used.	`{tolerance=10^{-8}}`	`{tolerance=10^{-12}}`
result	We can choose the format of the output of the solution.	`{result="vector"}`	`{result="table"}`
