  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. 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.

  5. Powerful number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Powerful_number

    A powerful number is a positive integer m such that for every prime number p dividing m, p 2 also divides m.Equivalently, a powerful number is the product of a square and a cube, that is, a number m of the form m = a 2 b 3, where a and b are positive integers.

  6. Radical symbol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radical_symbol

    The two square roots of a negative number are both imaginary numbers, and the square root symbol refers to the principal square root, the one with a positive imaginary part. For the definition of the principal square root of other complex numbers, see Square root § Principal square root of a complex number.

  7. Mathematical constant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematical_constant

    The square root of 2 is equal to the length of the hypotenuse of a right-angled triangle with legs of length 1. The square root of 2, often known as root 2 or Pythagoras' constant, and written as √ 2, is the unique positive real number that, when multiplied by itself, gives the number 2. It is more precisely called the principal square root ...

  8. Kunerth's algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kunerth's_algorithm

    Kunerth's algorithm is an algorithm for computing the modular square root of a given number. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] The algorithm does not require the factorization of the modulus, and relies on modular operations that is often easy when the given number is prime.
