findZeros

A formula.  The right side names the variable with respect to which the zeros should be found.  The left side is an expression, e.g. <code>sin(x) ~ x</code>.  All variables named in the expression must be assigned values via <code>...</code>

expr

Specific numerical values for the unbound variables in the expression.

The range of the dependent variable to search for zeros. <code>Inf</code> is a legitimate value, but is interpretted in the numerical sense.

xlim

How many sub-intervals to divide the <code>xlim</code> into when looking for candidates for zeros.  If <code>Inf</code> is involved, the intervals are numerically spaced up to the largest finite floating point number.

npts

Compute numerically the zeros of a function.
