Nonlinear systems of equations often appear in various fields of science and engineering, but their analytical solutions are difficult to find, so numerical methods are needed to solve them. Optimization algorithms are very effective in finding solutions to nonlinear systems of equations especially when traditional analytical and numerical methods are difficult to apply. Two popular optimization methods used for this purpose are Genetic Algorithm (GA) and Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO). This study aims to compare the effectiveness of GA and PSO in finding solutions to nonlinear systems of equations. The criteria used for comparison include accuracy and speed of convergence. This research uses several examples of nonsmooth nonlinear systems of equations for experimentation and comparison. The results provide insight into when and how to effectively use these two algorithms to solve nonlinear systems of equations as well as their potential combinations
