Hi, 

     I'm using fsolve in a loop, as an example can we find the first 10 roots of sin(x) and store then in an array.

 restart;

     x:=array(0..10):

     x[0]:=0:

     for i from 1 to 10 do

           x[i]:= fsolve(sin(y)=0, y=x[i-1]..10 , avoid={y=x[i-1]});

     end do;
 
Firstly this solve only 0,2*Pi, 3*Pi...Why does it skip Pi? also can I change the range to x[i-1]..infinity? 
Basically how can I force fsolve to find a solution that is GREATER than the previous solution???
 
Thanks! 
Matt
