  2. Methods of computing square roots - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Methods_of_computing...

    A method analogous to piece-wise linear approximation but using only arithmetic instead of algebraic equations, uses the multiplication tables in reverse: the square root of a number between 1 and 100 is between 1 and 10, so if we know 25 is a perfect square (5 × 5), and 36 is a perfect square (6 × 6), then the square root of a number greater than or equal to 25 but less than 36, begins with ...

  3. Square root - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Square_root

    Notation for the (principal) square root of x. For example, √ 25 = 5, since 25 = 5 ⋅ 5, or 5 2 (5 squared). In mathematics, a square root of a number x is a number y such that =; in other words, a number y whose square (the result of multiplying the number by itself, or ) is x. [1]

  4. Integer square root - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Integer_square_root

    In number theory, the integer square root (isqrt) of a non-negative integer n is the non-negative integer m which is the greatest integer less than or equal to the square root of n, ⁡ = ⌊ ⌋. For example, isqrt ⁡ ( 27 ) = ⌊ 27 ⌋ = ⌊ 5.19615242270663... ⌋ = 5. {\displaystyle \operatorname {isqrt} (27)=\lfloor {\sqrt {27}}\rfloor ...

  5. Algebraic number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Algebraic_number

    The square root of 2 is an algebraic number equal to the length of the hypotenuse of a right triangle with legs of length 1.. An algebraic number is a number that is a root of a non-zero polynomial in one variable with integer (or, equivalently, rational) coefficients.

  6. Sum of two squares theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sum_of_two_squares_theorem

    Non-unique representations (up to rotation and reflection) bolded In number theory , the sum of two squares theorem relates the prime decomposition of any integer n > 1 to whether it can be written as a sum of two squares , such that n = a 2 + b 2 for some integers a , b .

  7. Square root of a matrix - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Square_root_of_a_matrix

    A matrix B is said to be a square root of A if the matrix product BB is equal to A. [1] Some authors use the name square root or the notation A 1/2 only for the specific case when A is positive semidefinite, to denote the unique matrix B that is positive semidefinite and such that BB = B T B = A (for real-valued matrices, where B T is the ...

  8. Napier's bones - Wikipedia

    In the example above, 6839925 is less than 11669900, so the root needs to be rounded up to 6840.0. To find the square root of a number that isn't an integer, say 54782.917, everything is the same, except that the digits to the left and right of the decimal point are grouped into twos. So 54782.917 would be grouped as 05 47 82.91 70

  9. Functional square root - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Functional_square_root

    Notations expressing that f is a functional square root of g are f = g [1/2] and f = g 1/2 [citation needed] [dubious – discuss], or rather f = g 1/2 (see Iterated function#Fractional_iterates_and_flows,_and_negative_iterates), although this leaves the usual ambiguity with taking the function to that power in the multiplicative sense, just as f ² = f ∘ f can be misinterpreted as x ↦ f(x)².
