| Nov 22, 2011 at 17:28 | comment | added | J. M. isn't a mathematician | "You can solve this system of nonlinear equations using Newton's method and the Jacobian." - yes. This method is called the "Durand-Kerner algorithm". You should now be able to do a Google search on this. | |

| Nov 3, 2011 at 19:08 | comment | added | Cris Stringfellow | Hmmm...So we can't escape the approximation without taking an infinite limit, which would then violate that the "in a finite number of operations" requirement. I think that part is answered...It is an algorithm. I get it. Still on the second part...any references to theories about operations? | |
| Nov 3, 2011 at 19:04 | comment | added | J.C. Ottem | Newton's method gives an approximation, it does not solve the system of non linear equations. Of course, the system is equivalent to solving the polynomial. | |
