[R] solving nonlinear system of equations

[allan_sta_staff_sci_main_uct at mail.uct.ac.za]

hi all

i have been searching through the archives in search for some help and it seems
to have been fruitless - thus the mail. i saw some mail relating to mathomatic
and maxima. mathomatic only works for simpel functions - as per the mail and
does not support logs ...- and i am not familiar with maxima. i would
preferably want to use an R function.



is there a function that can solve a system of non linear equations. i dont have
any data - ie as per nls.



so a trivial example would be:

exp(a) = v
log(v) = 0



and we need to solve for v and a.

hoping someone can help.
