The square root thread has begun its life
PLease post some square roots here
√ 49=7
 
Yes, this is now your worst thread ever. 😀
√ .01 = .1
 
The terms "square" and "cube" go back to the Greek mathematicians who viewed all numbers as having a geometric meaning.

Where A represents a length, A^2 represents the area of square with sides of length A, and A^3 represents the volume of a cube with edges of length A.
 
Regarding all numbers as representing something geometric has its drawbacks. They refused to work with negative numbers which held back their development.
 
LOL 😛
Very funny. 😀

Seriously, it kept them from writing down one forumula for all quadratic equations.

For example, they had to write the equivalent of x^2 + 4 = 5x instead of x^2 -5x + 4 = 0, since to them -5 was not a number. This kept them from doing algebra easily, and they never reached the level of solving the general cubic.
 
Yes, I've always believed that numbers are fun. 😀
A majority of humanity somehow doesn't see it that way.
 
Did you know that 251 can be expressed as the sum of three positive cubes in two different ways? 😀
