[Numpy-discussion] Inverse function of numpy.polyval()

Dear all, I was wondering is there a convenient inverse function of np.polyval(), where I give the y value and it solves for x? I know one way I could do this is: import numpy as np # Set up the question p = np.array([1, 1, -10]) y = 100 # Solve p_temp = p p_temp[-1] -= y x = np.roots(p_temp)
