Checking around a little, I found several other co-workers who were also unable to take a square root by hand. If that circumstance would include you as well, then to learn or re-learn the square root ...

Logarithms and square root are non-elementary operations frequently used in digital signal processing. In this work, implementation and design of an IP-Core to compute square root and multibase ...

We give new algorithms for the computation of square roots and reciprocals of power series in C║x║ If M(n) denotes the cost of multiplying polynomials of degree n, the square root to order n costs ...

We present a novel idea to compute square roots over finite fields, without being given any quadratic nonresidue, and without assuming any unproven hypothesis. The algorithm is deterministic and the ...
