For the second question see first Implementation Notes:

http://documents.wolfram.com/mathematica/book/section-A.9.4

Then

http://documents.wolfram.com/mathematica/functions/NDSolve
http://documents.wolfram.com/mathematica/functions/FindRoot

Also take a look of Advanced Documentation in the Help-Browser.
