  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. Newton's method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newton's_method

    Newton's method is a powerful technique—if the derivative of the function at the root is nonzero, then the convergence is at least quadratic: as the method converges on the root, the difference between the root and the approximation is squared (the number of accurate digits roughly doubles) at each step. However, there are some difficulties ...

  4. Square root - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Square_root

    The square root of a positive integer is the product of the roots of its prime factors, because the square root of a product is the product of the square roots of the factors. Since p 2 k = p k , {\textstyle {\sqrt {p^{2k}}}=p^{k},} only roots of those primes having an odd power in the factorization are necessary.

  5. nth root - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nth_root

    A root of degree 2 is called a square root and a root of degree 3, a cube root. Roots of higher degree are referred by using ordinal numbers, as in fourth root, twentieth root, etc. The computation of an n th root is a root extraction. For example, 3 is a square root of 9, since 3 2 = 9, and −3 is also a square root of 9, since (−3) 2 = 9.

  6. Quadratic equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quadratic_equation

    The process of simplifying expressions involving the square root of an expression involving the square root of another expression involves finding the two solutions of a quadratic equation. Descartes' theorem states that for every four kissing (mutually tangent) circles, their radii satisfy a particular quadratic equation.

  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. Polynomial root-finding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polynomial_root-finding

    For finding one root, Newton's method and other general iterative methods work generally well. For finding all the roots, arguably the most reliable method is the Francis QR algorithm computing the eigenvalues of the companion matrix corresponding to the polynomial, implemented as the standard method [1] in MATLAB.

  9. Conjugate (square roots) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conjugate_(square_roots)

    As (+) = and (+) + =, the sum and the product of conjugate expressions do not involve the square root anymore. This property is used for removing a square root from a denominator, by multiplying the numerator and the denominator of a fraction by the conjugate of the denominator (see Rationalisation).
