Solving equations

Smath Studio includes several methods for solving equations.

<!--desperately needs expanding and examples-->

If you have a function of one variable then use [[solve]], [[roots]] or [[polyroots]]. '''solve()''' is more flexible and can find more than one root, '''roots()''' is giving only one root, but if you have a pure polynomial use '''polyroots()'''.

Note: If you have some simultaneous equations with several variables then use [[matrices]] for linear equations or [[roots]] for the system of nonlinear equations.
