Computing sqrt 2 with rational functions. - tommy1729 - 03/31/2023
Computing sqrt 2 with rational function iterations.
A generalization of Newton method more or less.
Using one of my teen ideas and posted on MSE by my friend mick :
https://math.stackexchange.com/questions/4667022/special-numerical-method-for-sqrt-2-with-rational-functions
About as many upvotes as downvotes in a balance , so more controversial then it seems, mick told me.
( only he can see the amount of up and down votes , others see the net vote )
One could also add (1 + ...) products above ( making zero's instead of poles )
And one wonders if these (1+...) products and divisions or mixes are pade of the same function ?
