One day while working on a task with another engineer, we needed to take the square root of a rather large number and both of us had momentarily misplaced our calculators. “Okay”, I said. “It'll just ...

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 ...

Treat Code as Data: C#: Implement Hero Roots Imperatively: Listing 3 This imperative implementation of Hero's square root algorithm concentrates on how to calculate the root. It contains loops and ...
