Nonlinear equation

[robert-mcfadden]

Dear R Users,
I'm trying to find function that allow me to solve one nonlinear equation. Functions that I found are good for optimization problems.
Any suggestions are welcome,
rob

You are not very specific. If you want what I guess you should have a look at
a CAS program like yacas or maxima. For maxima there exists a nice gui called
wxMaxima.

However you can use yacas from whithin R with the ryacas package:

Perhaps try nlm or optim functions.
