 Square root Summary Per the fundamental theorem of algebra, there are two solutions to the square root of any number (although these roots may not be distinct, as in the square root of zero). Square roots of positive integers are often irrational numbers, i.e., numbers not expressible as a ratio of two integers. In geometrical terms, the square root function maps the area of a square to its side length. www.bookrags.com /Square_root   (1805 words)

 Square root - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Square roots of positive integers are often irrational numbers, i.e., numbers not expressible as a ratio of two integers. In geometrical terms, the square root function maps the area of a square to its side length. Thus defined, the square root function is holomorphic everywhere except on the non-positive real numbers (where it isn't even continuous). en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Square_root   (1274 words)

 Integer square root - TheBestLinks.com - Integers, Mathematics, Number theory, Newton's method, ... In mathematics and Number theory, the integer square root (isqrt) of a number n in the reals which is non-negative and non-zero is the number m which is the greatest integer less than or equal to the square root of n. The first and most obvious, but least satisfactory method of calculating the integer square root of a number n is to simply take its square root, and round down. The beauty of Newton's Iteration for finding the integer square root of a number n is that it can use solely integers, which is essential for accurate Number theory. www.thebestlinks.com /Integer_square_root.html   (358 words)

 Encyclopedia :: Square root   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20) For a positive real number, the two square roots are the principle square root and the negative square root. Square roots of positive integers are often irrational numbers, i.e., numbers not expressible as a quotient of two integers. If there is a chance of ambiguity, prefer constructions like a square root or a complex square root to indicate the strict definition, or the positive square root or similar to indicate the looser sense. www.hallencyclopedia.com /Square_root   (1804 words)

 Ancient Square Roots The basic "ladder rule" for generating a sequence of integers to yield the square root of a number N is the recurrence formula s[j] = 2k s[j-1] + (N-k^2) s[j-2] where k is the largest integer such that k^2 is less than N. The ratio s[j+1]/s[j] approaches sqrt(A) + N as j goes to infinity. For example, with j=2 (for square roots) we have y^2 - 2k y - (M - k^2) = 0 The corresponding recurrence is s[n] = 2k s[n-1] + (M-k^2) s[n-2] which is the same as the "ladder arithmetic" square root method given earlier. By simply shifting this circle of roots in the positive real direction we can make the magnitude of the positive real root greater than the magnitude of any of the other roots (because the radius of the original circle of roots is smaller than the new positive real root). www.mathpages.com /home/kmath190.htm   (1412 words)

 The Grinnell Scheme Web: Integer square roots   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20) You could do that, but when the square root is irrational the computer generally represents it internally using an approximation to the true value. At all times, the recursion keeps track of two numbers, one of which (the lower bound'') is known to be less than or equal to the correct integer square root, while the other (the upper bound'') is known to be strictly greater than the integer square root. An integer square root can't be less than 0, and the integer square root of n is always less than n + 1. www.math.grin.edu /~stone/scheme-web/integer-square-root.html   (372 words)

We won't explore triangular numbers here, but rather will consider numbers which can be written as a sum of squares (you can think of stacking the squares of dots like a child playing with blocks of various sizes).

 Paul Hsieh's Square Root page Any composite positive integer has a positive divisor that is greater than 1 and less or equal to its square root. The square root of a positive irrational is always irrational and the square root of a positive algebraic (which includes rationals) is always algebraic. Square roots continued to be important to Pythagoras, of course, as a method for calculating right triangle edge lengths from Pythagoras' theorem. www.azillionmonkeys.com /qed/sqroot.html   (4748 words)

 [No title] Square roots of positive integers are often irrational numbers, i.e., numbers not expressible as a quotient of two integers. The discovery that \sqrt 2 is irrational is attributed to Hippasus, a disciple of Pythagoras. Many of the methods used for finding the square root of a number requires an initial seed value which is close to the actual value of the square root. www.hermes-press.com /square_root.htm   (3720 words)

 Decomposing a positive integer into a sum of four squares The simplest solution one can think of works by subtracting a trial square from the number to be decomposed and then trying to decompose the resulting number into a sum of three squares. Note that one could also try to subtract the largest possible square from n that makes sure that n is not of the forbidden in order to have a smaller number to be represented as a sum of three squares. Indeed, numerical experiments suggest that 9634 is the largest integer which cannot be represented as a square plus a prime congruent 1 mod 4 or as a square plus twice a prime congruent 1 mod 4. www.schorn.ch /howto.html   (1122 words)

 Non integer square roots and pi = irrational? The OP's question seems to be, are all irrationals comparable, so that irrational pi being taken as a unit, irrational square root 5 comes out as, I don't know what he wants, maybe a linear combination with integer coefficients. A non-integer square root is a number that is not an integer that when multiplied by itself equals an integer. If you were to draw a triangle like the one I said above (legs with a length of 2 and hypotenuse with a length of the square root of 8) on a sheet of graph paper, you have just drawn a line with an irrational length. www.physicsforums.com /showthread.php?threadid=104832   (2676 words)

Unfortunately, at about the time this was discovered, it was also discovered that the Athlon's hardware square root is very impressive (it beats it by almost 2x.) Nevertheless for other platforms this does appears to be the algorithm of choice. This leads to (a,b) <= ((a+y*b)/2,b*(2-a*b)), where a is supposed to converge to the square root and b to the reciprocal of the square root. www.jbenjamin.org /docs/asm-sqroot.html   (3140 words)

 [No title] Square root is about as complex, and takes about as much time, as a divide. A square root is like a division in which the quotient and divisor are equal. However, I knew that square root could be done as quickly as division at least as far back as high school, before I had ever heard of Dijkstra (or seen a computer for that matter). hyperarchive.lcs.mit.edu /HyperArchive/Archive/_Periodical/csmp/csmp-digest-v3-036.txt   (15962 words)

 Integer square root Summary Roundoff error is a form of noise that pervades all calculations performed on computers (other than those dealing strictly with integers). Roundoff error occurs because computers can only use finite strings of digits to represent any given number, while many numbers are often not representable by finite strings.
