:::::Mainly it is the amount of space that is given to it that I feel is undue. And even at that it has very little about the method, just examples. If a couple of the examples were replaced by a better explanation that would be an overall gain I think. An encyclopaedia should tell about things, not train you in doing them.

:::::I have chopped out all the examples except the first. One properly explained example of the square root of a 6 digit number might be okay instead, but three long examples without proper explanation are not. [[User:Dmcq|Dmcq]] ([[User talk:Dmcq|talk]]) 09:11, 22 December 2013 (UTC)
== Another algorithm ==
There is another algorithm which runs very fast using only shifts, increments, decrements, additions and subtractions, and works with any base. This algorithm has been in use successfully for almost 40 years in nuclear instrumentation. The algorithm and an example are published at http://www.king-cart.com/square-root.html
