NSolve

FilledSmallSquare NSolve[lhs==rhs, var] gives a list of numerical approximations to the roots of a polynomial equation.
FilledSmallSquare NSolve[, , ... , , , ... ] solves a system of polynomial equations.

FilledSmallSquare NSolve[eqns, vars, n] gives results to n-digit precision.
FilledSmallSquare NSolve[eqns, vars] gives the same final result as N[Solve[eqns, vars]], apart from issues of numerical precision.
FilledSmallSquare See The Mathematica Book on the web: Section 1.6.3, Section 3.4.2, Section 3.9.1, Section 3.9.5 and Section 3.9.5.
