Difference between fsolve and nSolve? [CAS]

[Angus]

Thank you. Good explanation.
Providing initial guesses means more keystrokes which is inconvenient with a keyboard like the prime... Maybe a function to add a default interval to fsolve calls would be worth a thoght. However - verifying the results remains important. You could surely impress some students by showing the limitations of a tool liek the prime. Others could be more baffled.


edit:

Just one more question about the possible methods. In the help they are not specified in detail. e.g. 1==bisect, 2==Newton or so. Can you give information on that? Thanks!!
