Hi, After successfully installing SciPy http://www.scipy.org/Download you should be able to import the respective modules and use this functionality such as http://docs.scipy.org/doc/scipy/reference/generated/scipy.optimize.newton.html you may also consider mpmath http://code.google.com/p/mpmath/ http://mpmath.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/doc/build/calculus/optimization.html SymPy http://sympy.org or maybe some OpenOpt software http://openopt.org or other related libraries/frameworks available in python. I am not at all competent to decide about the suitability for your originally posted problem, but I guess, you may be able to find it out based on your requirements and the features supported by these libraries. hth, vbr -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
