Complexity ?: like division
Line 222:
::<math>X_{i+1} = X_i(2-DX_i) \,</math>
:and conclude that the complexity of extracting a square-root is only slightly greater than the complexity of division. But division is significantly harder than multiplication since it requires repeated multiplication of the order of the logarithm of the number of digits times.

== Vedic Mathematics Claims Need Much Better Sources ==
 
I see the article as a whole is already flagged for lacking reliable sources. The specific claim that the "Vedic mathematics" method described in the article is "ancient" is not backed up by a reliable source. Many claims like this are found in many articles on mathematical topics in Wikipedia, and all either need better sourcing or to be edited out. -- [[User:WeijiBaikeBianji|WeijiBaikeBianji]] ([[User talk:WeijiBaikeBianji|talk]], [[User:WeijiBaikeBianji/Editing|how I edit]]) 03:37, 1 February 2013 (UTC)
