How to compute Implied Volatility Calculation?

We all know if you back out of the BS option pricing model you can derive and solve what the options is "implying" as its volatility.

However, what is the formula used to derive Implied Volatility (IV) (can anyone direct me to the equation)?

Is there a closed form equation?

Or is it solved numerically?
