Of course, but coding general-purpose root finders-- even if "general" is limited to just polynomials --requires mathematical and numeric expertise. If it interests you, there are book-length treatments of the subject, and there's really no easy reliable approach. Good online sources for numeric algorithms include:

Just Googling on

will point you to
