A general method to compute the nth root of real numbers

Name: Work Video:
Duration: 3 min 30 s
Description: A general method to compute the nth root of real numbers is introduced. The square root is reviewed and the generalization to cubic roots is given. A general program is drawn for the case of any higher root and a few examples are worked out to show the practical way of performing such calculations.
