Equation solving in $\mathbb {C}$ : cSolve

cSolve takes two arguments and solves an equation or a system of polynomial equations.

• solving an equaion
  cSolve takes as arguments an equation between two expressions or an expression (=0 is omitted), and a variable name (by default x).
  cSolve solves this equation in $\mathbb {C}$ even if you are in real mode.
• solving system of polynomial equations
  cSolve takes as arguments two vectors : a vector of polynomial equations and a vector of variable names.
  cSolve solves this equation system in $\mathbb {C}$ even if you are in real mode.
