Dear Ravi:
Thanks for pointing out the homotopy methods. Coming from Mathematics I was
always considering SINGULAR for such a task which is also providing results
when the solution set is not isolated points, but an algebraic variety.
For single points, homotopy methods appear to be an effectiv

not be aware that optim() is contra-recommended for functions of 1 variable, which seems to be the problem here. But there is

Hi,
Does anyone know how to code newton's method for finding the roots of
polynomial functions? im not sure whether i need to do this manually, or just
code something with a loop to stop when it gets to the desired result
See ?optim for optimization methods.

Hi,
Does anyone know how to code newton's method for finding the roots of

thanks guys!
