How can the implied volatility be calculated?

We all know if you back out of the B.S. option pricing model you can solve for what the option is "implying" about the underlyings volatility.

Is there a simple, closed form, formula deriving Implied Volatility (IV) (can anyone direct me to the equation)?

Or is it only solved numerically?
