m Improving punctuation. There are to separate sentences here. Also a minor improvement in syntax.
Line 2:
The [[Principal branch|principal]] [[nth root|''n''th root]] <math>\sqrt[n]{A}</math> of a [[negative and positive numbers|positive]] [[real number]] ''A'', is the positive real solution of the equation
 
:<math>x^n = A</math>.
 
(forFor an integer ''n'' there are ''n'' distinct [[complex number|complex]] solutions to this equation if <math>A > 0</math>, but only one is positive and real).
 
There is a very fast-[[Limit of a sequence|converging]] ''' ''n''th root algorithm''' for finding <math>\sqrt[n]{A}</math>:
