A training software tool for square root calculation

Published: 17 June 2004 Publication History

Abstract

The paper justifies the necessity to introduce the students from the 'Computer Systems and Technologies' degree course to algorithms, used for square root calculation in computers. Two of the most widely used iterative algorithms for fixed and floating point numbers square root approximation are discussed and the steps of development of the training environment are described.
