Is there a function in Matlab which gives a list of numerical approximations to the roots of a polynomial equation (eg. like NSolve in Mathematica?) Thanks!

You can use the "roots" function in Matlab to find roots of a polynomial equation.
To get help about this function you may type "help roots" in Matlab command prompt
