: comp.theory.dynamic-sys:92 sci.math:1737 sci.physics:1474 I have seen several programs posted that implement the square-root-by-hand- one-digit-at-a-time algorithm. This very same algorithm becomes much, MUCH simpler in base 2, both for a computer and on paper. Try it. Since base-conversions are easy, I'd say this is the way to go.
