EXPLAINED: Calculating square roots easily (BABYLONIAN and more)

Previous video:

Next video:

This is a continuation of the previous video about the methods to calculate square root of 2 (actually all square roots). Be sure to watch the previous video first before this one.

Note: This is a lot more mathematically demanding than the previous video, but with a clear mind, and the underrated option of replay on YouTube, I hope you can get it. I am hoping to improve my works so that more people can understand the advanced mechanisms behind these methods to calculate square roots.

As stated in the video, there is one picture in the video that cannot be sourced as when I search the image on Google, it redirects me to dangerous sites. But here are the links if you want to read (note that they might not explain in depth or only gives you an unsatisfactory "explanation" that does not really explain every queries in your head):

Useful links:

(1) "Long Division"

(2) Continued fraction

(3) Babylonian's method

If you want to know more about whether it could be generalized to cube roots, stay tuned for the next video!
