While you already know how to find the square root of a number, you might not be able to describe the process efficiently and precisely to a computer. This could mean embarrassment if you are a computer programmer. Knowing an algorithm is also required of a mathematician. Moreover, knowing something new is always good for knowledge-seekers (which I assume you are if you are reading my blog).
In this post, we will look at a good-enough method of finding square roots, known as the bisection method.
