Heron's Method

This a video about how to Calculate the decimal value of square roots on your own. It's a faster way then trial and error. Try it and have fun.

I believe yours is the only video to actually deal in its derivation, and that's great. Your mentioning of it being recursive in its nature is also something that seemingly no other video deals with. So thank you so much for the effort you made putting this video together.

Thanks for this!

Nice!!!

*But how does the calculator calculate it?*

They usually use Newton's Method, proven in Calculus. It generates the same algorithm as this essentially, except Newton's Method works for a lot more other functions.
