Figure 1. Xcas calculates fractions without common denominator. Figure 2. Xcas can solve equation, calculate derivative, antiderivative and more. Figure 3. Xcas can solve differential equations. Xcas is a user interface to Giac, which is an open source [2] computer algebra system (CAS) for Windows, macOS and Linux among many other platforms.
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 ...
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.
In the case of two nested square roots, the following theorem completely solves the problem of denesting. [2]If a and c are rational numbers and c is not the square of a rational number, there are two rational numbers x and y such that + = if and only if is the square of a rational number d.
The cube root is the inverse function of the cube function if considering only real numbers, but not if considering also complex numbers: although one has always () =, the cube of a nonzero number has more than one complex cube root and its principal cube root may not be the number that was cubed.

The cube function is the function x ↦ x 3 (often denoted y = x 3) that maps a number to its cube. It is an odd function, as (−n) 3 = −(n 3). The volume of a geometric cube is the cube of its side length, giving rise to the name. The inverse operation that consists of finding a number whose cube is n is called extracting the cube root of n ...
