  2. Cube root - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cube_root

    Cube root. In mathematics, a cube root of a number x is a number y such that y3 = x. All nonzero real numbers have exactly one real cube root and a pair of complex conjugate cube roots, and all nonzero complex numbers have three distinct complex cube roots. For example, the real cube root of 8, denoted , is 2, because 23 = 8, while the other ...

    The above discussion indicates how knowing the factors of n allows us to find the roots efficiently. Say there were an efficient algorithm for finding square roots modulo a composite number. The article congruence of squares discusses how finding two numbers x and y where x 2 ≡ y 2 (mod n) and x ≠ ±y suffices to factorize n efficiently.

  5. Napier's bones - Wikipedia

    The next digit of the square root is 3. The same steps as before are repeated and 4089 is subtracted from the current remainder, 5453, to get 1364 as the next remainder. When the board is rearranged, the second column of the square root bone is 6, a single digit. So 6 is appended to the current number on the board, 136, to leave 1366 on the board.

  6. Cube root law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cube_root_law

    The cube root law is an observation in political science that the number of members of a unicameral legislature, or of the lower house of a bicameral legislature, is about the cube root of the population being represented. [1] The rule was devised by Estonian political scientist Rein Taagepera in his 1972 paper "The size of national assemblies".

    The trigonometric functions of angles that are multiples of 15°, 18°, or 22.5° have simple algebraic values. These values are listed in the following table for angles from 0° to 90°. [1] In the table below, the label "Undefined" represents a ratio If the codomain of the trigonometric functions is taken to be the real numbers these entries ...

  8. Root of unity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Root_of_unity

    Roots of unity can be defined in any field. If the characteristic of the field is zero, the roots are complex numbers that are also algebraic integers. For fields with a positive characteristic, the roots belong to a finite field, and, conversely, every nonzero element of a finite field is a root of unity.

  9. Square root - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Square_root

    Square root. Notation for the (principal) square root of x. For example, √ 25 = 5, since 25 = 5 ⋅ 5, or 52 (5 squared). In mathematics, a square root of a number x is a number y such that ; in other words, a number y whose square (the result of multiplying the number by itself, or ) is x. [1] For example, 4 and −4 are square roots of 16 ...
