	How to Do Cube Roots of 9 Digit Numbers in Your Head
		When I say "the cube root of numbers like 283593393", there is of course something special about 283593393, which is that it is a cube of a whole number, so it's cube root is a whole number.
		The cube root of a 6 digit number has to be less than 100, so you could consider memorising the first 100 cubes.
		Using the same techniques, we can easily calculate the first and last digits of the cube root of a 9 digit number (assuming, as already stated, that it is known to be the cube of a whole number).

	算盤 Cube Root - Abacus Arithmetic by Welton J. Crook (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		The extraction of the cube root of a number on the abacus is more complicated but not more tedious than the extraction of the square root.
		Subtract the sum of the "square" number from the residue of the "cube" number and repeat the process given in (f) and (g) until the number in the first group of the "cube" number is less than the "square" number.
		The situation on the abacus is shown in Figure 34, in which, numbering the columns from the left, the "root" number, 61, occupies columns one and two; the "square" number, 1261, occupies columns five, six, seven and eight; the "cube" number, 1261, occupies columns ten, eleven, twelve and thirteen.

	Cube (arithmetic) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A perfect cube (also called a cube number, or sometimes just a cube) is a number which is the cube of an integer.
		With even cubes, there is considerable restriction, for only 00, o2, e4, o6 and e8 can be the last two digits of a perfect cube (where o stands for any odd digit and e for any even digit).
		Some cube numbers are also square numbers, for example 64 is a square number (8 × 8) and a cube number (4 × 4 × 4); this happens if and only if it is a perfect sixth power.

		A cube root is a number that when cubed is equal to a given number or to a given radicand in a radical expression.
		The cube roots of positive radicands are positive and the cube roots of negative radicands are negative.
		For square roots and for cube roots, we have seen that when the power of a factor in the radicand is equal to the index of the radical, then the root is equal to the factor itself.

		The algorithm was derived by an examination and extension of the algorithm for finding square roots by estimation and averaging with which many readers may be familiar and which is, in fact, merely a special case of the general algorithm.
		To begin with, let us estimate the cube root to be 6, which is purposely lower than the better estimate of 7 in order to emphasize how quickly convergence is obtained even with a very poor estimate.
		Subsequent iterations result in revised estimates of 7.697141 and finally 7.697002, which, in fact, is the closest approximation of the cube root obtainable on a common four-function calculator.

		Perfect cubes are numbers that when you take the cube root of it you get a whole number.
