I have two examples of problems that I find hard using FindRoot mostly for findind the start point a search range: 1) Using this pre-Solve I get a starting range Solve[7.624706741199758*10^53 *(2.3586540063095223*10^(-11)* a)^2 - 7.514683570223143*10^10 == 0, a] For FindRoot[7.624706741199758*10^53 *Erfi[2.3586540063095223*10^(-11)* a]^2 - 7.514683570223143*10^10 == 0, {a, 0, 1.3310045443281747*10^(-11)}] I think the answer may be closer to the rational: 1/(3*c)=1.1118801615561874*10^-11 2) The Gamma or factorial to quadratic solve Snand An type groups to Cartan A_n groups: a0 = Table[{x /. FindRoot[(x - 1)^2 - 1 - (x - 1)!/n == 0, {x, 3, 20}], n}, {n, 2, 20}] ListPlot[a0, PlotJoined -> True] b0 = Table[{x /. FindRoot[(x - 1)^2 - 1 - (x - 1)!/n == 0, {x, 3, 20}], n}, {n, 1, 20}] ListPlot[b0, PlotJoined -> True] A much better solution in terms of integers is: c0 = Table[{x /. FindRoot[(x - 1)^2 - 1 - (x)!/n == 0, {x, 3, 20}], n}, {n, 1, 20}] ListPlot[c0, PlotJoined -> True] But the answer I was looking for in terms of symmetric groups Sn and An and Cartan A_n groups is: d0 = Table[{x /. FindRoot[(x + 1)^2 - 1 - (x)!/n == 0, {x, 3, 20}], n}, {n, 1, 20}]
