NSolve
NSolve[lhs==rhs, var] gives a list of numerical approximations to the roots of a polynomial equation.
NSolve[
,
, ...
, 
,
, ...
] solves a system of polynomial equations.
NSolve[eqns, vars, n] gives results to n-digit precision.
NSolve[eqns, vars] gives the same final result as N[Solve[eqns, vars]], apart from issues of numerical precision.
