Hey you, sttscitrans@tesco.net,
Did you dare to mention SQUARE ROOTS when talking about your alleged
GENERAL HURTWITZ's ROOT-SOLVING METHOD? (pun intended)
Very funny, indeed.
please , do a favor to the sci.math audience, ask to HURTWIZT to tell
you if by means of FAREY FRACTIONS he pubished something similar to
all what follows. I am sure you have the cheek to say that you have
read all what follows in many books on numbers, even in ancient clay
tablets. (Pun intended)
Of Course this challenge apply also to your friend.
Wait a minute, please do not tell me that your math teacher and even
HURTWITZ never told you anything about what follows. What a shame,
indeed, worst when considering that I am only bringing to you a
TRIVIAL EXAMPLE ON SQUARE ROOTS. What a shame, indeed.
Notice, that what follows is neither about Farey Fractions, nor
Continued Fractions, nor Pell's equation, nor pigeon holes, nor birds,
nor cows, but just about a simple example on the GENERAL ROOT SOLVING
METHODS shown in my book and webpages, such methods have no precedents
in the whole history of mathematics and certainly yields best
approximations. Could you ever understand or accept that? i do not
think so, because this hurts so much, indeed, and I understand you,
and i DON'T care, and I will continue spreading this CRUDE TRUTH, and
you will not be able to prevent people from reading all this.

-----------------------------------PRELIMINARY
NOTE-----------------------------------
The Rational Mean of the fractions: f1=a1/b1 and f2=a2/b2 is:
Rm[f1, f2] = (a1+a2)/(b1+b2)
By agency of such a simple arithmetical operation you can produce all
the Householder expressions for the Nth root of any number P.
Notice that if you change the form of the fraction a1/b1= (x/x)*(a1/
b1)= (x*a1)/(x*b1) then you will get another result (provided that x
is not equal to 1):
For example: Rm[(x/x)*f1, f2]= (x*a1 + a2) / (x*b1 + b2)
--------------------------------END OF
NOTE----------------------------------------
Higher-order rational process based on the Rational Mean:
FUNDAMENTAL PRINCIPLE:
Any two fractions whose product is P represent two rational
approximations -by defect and excess-- to the square root of P.
If departing from those two fractions you can compute two mean values
whose product is also P then you have another two closer
approximations to the root. By continuing this process you will get a
root-solving algorithm for the square root of P, moreover, by using
the Rational Mean you will get a higher-order root-solving algorithm.
Starting with a set of two fractions f1, f2 whose product is f1*f2 =
P.
For example:
f1 =x/1 f2=P/x
Compute the following two rational means:
Rm[(x/x)*f1, f2] = (P+x^2) / (2x) (Newton)
Rm [(P/P)*f1, (x/x)*f2]= (2Px) / (P+x^2)
It yields, two expressions whose product is trivial and equal to P
and are closer to the square root of P.
You can use each of those new functions as independent iterating
functions both of them converging quadratically.
If you don't like quadratic convergence then compute another two
similar rational means by previously assigning those new functions to
f1 and f2, as follows:
f1 = (P+x^2) / (2x)
f2 = (2Px) / (P+x^2)
The two new rational means yields:
Rm [(x/x)*f1, f2] = (x^3 + 3Px) / (P
+3x^2) (Halley)
Rm [(P/P)*f1, (x/x)*f2]= (P^2 + 3Px^2) / (x^3 + 3Px)
two expressions whose product is trivial and equal to P, both of them
multiply by THREE the number of exact digits in each iteration.
If you prefer more convergence speed, then make:
f1 = (x^3 + 3Px) / (P+3x^2)
f2 = (P^2 + 3Px^2) / (x^3 + 3Px)
and compute other two rational means:
Rm [(x/x)*f1, f2] = (x^4 + 6Px^2 + P^2) / (4x^3 + 4Px)
(Householder)
Rm [(P/P)*f1, (x/x)*f2]= (4Px^3 + 4xP^2)/ (x^3 + 3Px)
Two expressions whose product is trivial and equal to P, both of them
multiply by FOUR the number of exact digits in each iteration.
By continuing this process, in the next step you will get two
functions which multiply by five the number of exact digits in each
iteration.
And so on...
That is, you will get all the Householder expressions for the square
root along with another iterating function.
Believe it or Not!.
Based on the evidence at hand, this so na?ve, trivial, natural and
simple rational process has no precedents since Sumerians times up to
now. We have not used neither any Cartesian-decimal system, nor any
derivatives, nor infinitesimal calculus, at all
I think, many experts on the history of mathematics should cogitate on
the very long story on root-solving. Indeed, it is disturbing to
realize these so simple rational processes based on the rational mean
do not appear in any book on numbers since ancient times up to now.
All this is fully explained in my book:
