You want your code to run ~8,000,000% slower You do not mind a slight loss of precision There exist lots of ways to calculate the square root of a number. If I were John Carmack, I would continue this ...

Abstract: In bignum arithmetic, the cube root and higher-order root operations are conventionally treated as elementary functions, meaning that for them, correct ...

Abstract: The root-multiple signal classification (Root-MUSIC) algorithm is one of the most important techniques for direction of arrival (DOA) estimation. This paper proposes a novel real-valued Root ...

This project consists of several numerical analysis exercises implemented in Python. It covers root-finding methods, solving linear systems of equations, and a PageRank-inspired algorithm for ...

The C routine in Listing 1 generates the cube root of either a positive or a negative number. The number can range from a small fraction to greater than 1 billion. Note that this idea is irrelevant ...

One day while working on a task with another engineer, we needed to take the square root of a rather large number and both of us had momentarily misplaced our calculators. “Okay”, I said. “It'll just ...
