Square-root-calculating circuits find wide use in instrumentation and measurement systems for such tasks as calculating the rms (root-mean-square) value of an arbitrary waveform, for example. Hence, ...
Somewhere around middle school, you learned about squaring numbers and the inverse, finding the square root of a number, but a little reminder can't hurt. You square a number when you multiply it by ...
LOS ANGELES - Caltech researchers have produced the most sophisticated DNA-based computer yet, a wet-chemistry system that can calculate the square roots of numbers as high as 15. The system is ...
