Abstract
Most modern mathematics textbooks favor the approximation method for computing square roots. The so-called long division method is not often mentioned. The approximation method is sound in principle, and it finds favor with many students because of the logic of its continuing process. Less capable students, however, complain that the approximation method has “too much figuring” and “too many chances for error.”
