I have been looking for a way to find square roots that is a little easier for the younger generation. the long division method is just too complicated with all its doubling and moving numbers. you definitely helped me out a lot. <br />THANKS!Jason Barnhardnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18322056.post-13216870870619235902010-08-15T16:08:24.386-04:002010-08-15T16:08:24.386-04:00I am taking the ASVAB tomorrow.
