From Help for FindRoot
"FindRoot[lhs == rhs, {x, x0, x1}] searches for a solution using x0 and x1 as the first two values of x, avoiding the use of derivatives."
{#, 0, 0.001}&/@{a, b, c, d, e} maps the form onto the list of variables to give them all the same two starting values. (See Help for Map, Function, Slot)
