Hi all, I have a hard time finding roots to the following system of equations in 2 unknowns (p,q): eq1 = Pu == f(q, alfa, beta) eq2 = Ql == g(p, alfa, beta) If the 2 parameters (alfa, beta) are given numerical values beforehand, no issue. But I would like to retain the parameters in symbolic form, so as to later minimize the distance of Pu and Ql from two numbers. I have only managed to work around this issue by creating a Table for each variable given various parameter variables so to compare it to a Table filled with the corresponding number. This method, however, seems rather cumbersome, and would rather use Nminimize if possible. Thanks! Alex
