I am trying to solve a system of non-linear system of equations. Is there a equivalent of NSolve or FindRoot of mathematica in sage. I looked up on the net and there is a equivalent command nsolve in sympy. However, for some reason "from sympy import nsolve" gives a error.

Scipy has quite a collection of numerical solvers in scipy.optimize. Does scipy.optimize.nonlin suit your needs?

Here is the equivalent to FindRoot: http://www.sagemath.org/doc/reference...

find_root works only in 1D I was actually trying to minimiize in 5D. I ended up using simplex algorithm from scipy it works pretty well.

I found a way around. I can define f=abs(f1)+abs(f2)+... and minimize f using the simplex algorithm. However, I have not been play with the tolerance and maximum number of iterations in minimize(). Is there is simple way of changing the tolerance for minimize with alogorithm="simplex"?
