Line 328: —[[User:David Eppstein\|David Eppstein]] 21:15, 20 May 2007 (UTC) :Hi David, No, I'm afraid I'm not related to David Fowler. But I did happen upon his paper on the square root approximations in Babylonian mathematics earlier today and am looking forward to reading it soon. Seems very well written. That reminds me that somewhere in the RfC in March you had mentioned a relation between the square root approximations, continued fractions and Pell numbers. I was wondering if you could add a few lines (or a footnote) in the Indian math article explaining this. (I'm assuming it is not any old continued fraction approx for sqrt(2), since, at least the one I came up with (based on y-1, where y=2+1/y) didn't seem to give me the Indian approximation.)
