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.

“Rationalists, wearing square hats,
Think, in square rooms,
Looking at the floor,
Looking at the ceiling.
They confine themselves
To right-angled triangles.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
