Methods Of Computing Square Roots
In numerical analysis, there are several methods for calculating the principal square root of a nonnegative real number. For the square roots of a negative or complex number, see below.
Generally, these methods yield approximate results. To get a higher precision for the root, a higher precision for the square is required and a larger number of steps must be calculated.

“If you want to know the taste of a pear, you must change the pear by eating it yourself.... If you want to know the theory and methods of revolution, you must take part in revolution. All genuine knowledge originates in direct experience.”

“How can you tell if you discipline effectively? Ask yourself if your disciplinary methods generally produce lasting results in a manner you find acceptable. Whether your philosophy is democratic or autocratic, whatever techniques you use—reasoning, a “star” chart, time-outs, or spanking—if it doesn’t work, it’s not effective.”
—Stanley Turecki (20th century)

That last house!
How it sat like a square box!”
