If you mean Octave's fsolve function, then no, it has nothing to do
with "maplesoft's engine", whatever that is.  Octave's fsolve calls
HYBRD or HYBRJ from Minapack (which one is called depends on whether
you supply a Jacobian function).  You could have found this from
examining the source code for Octave.

Octave 2.1.42 is very old.  You should consider upgrading to a newer
version.  2.1.64 is the current recommended snapshot.
