  2. Rational number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rational_number

    A finite continued fraction is an expression such as + + + +, where ... ⁠ i.e. the field of roots of rational polynomials, is the field of ...

  3. Irrational number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irrational_number

    It is clearly algebraic since it is the root of an integer polynomial, (x 3 − 1) 2 = 2, which is equivalent to x 6 − 2x 3 − 1 = 0. This polynomial has no rational roots, since the rational root theorem shows that the only possibilities are ±1, but x 0 is greater than 1. So x 0 is an irrational algebraic number. There are countably many ...

  4. Cubic equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cubic_equation

    Cubic equations were known to the ancient Babylonians, Greeks, Chinese, Indians, and Egyptians. [1] [2] [3] Babylonian (20th to 16th centuries BC) cuneiform tablets have been found with tables for calculating cubes and cube roots.

  5. Binomial theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binomial_theorem

    In elementary algebra, the binomial theorem (or binomial expansion) describes the algebraic expansion of powers of a binomial.According to the theorem, it is possible to expand the polynomial (x + y) n into a sum involving terms of the form ax b y c, where the exponents b and c are nonnegative integers with b + c = n, and the coefficient a of each term is a specific positive integer depending ...

  6. Nested radical - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nested_radical

    In the case of two nested square roots, the following theorem completely solves the problem of denesting. [2]If a and c are rational numbers and c is not the square of a rational number, there are two rational numbers x and y such that + = if and only if is the square of a rational number d.

  7. Mahāvīra (mathematician) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mahāvīra_(mathematician)

    Mahāvīra's Gaṇita-sāra-saṅgraha gave systematic rules for expressing a fraction as the sum of unit fractions. [14] This follows the use of unit fractions in Indian mathematics in the Vedic period, and the Śulba Sūtras' giving an approximation of √ 2 equivalent to + +.

  8. Methods of computing square roots - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Methods_of_computing...

    A method analogous to piece-wise linear approximation but using only arithmetic instead of algebraic equations, uses the multiplication tables in reverse: the square root of a number between 1 and 100 is between 1 and 10, so if we know 25 is a perfect square (5 × 5), and 36 is a perfect square (6 × 6), then the square root of a number greater than or equal to 25 but less than 36, begins with ...

  9. Babylonian mathematics - Wikipedia

    The diagonal displays an approximation of the square root of 2 in four sexagesimal figures, 1 24 51 10, which is good to about six decimal digits. 1 + 24/60 + 51/60 2 + 10/60 3 = 1.41421296... The tablet also gives an example where one side of the square is 30, and the resulting diagonal is 42 25 35 or 42.4263888...
