====== square roots ======
Created Tuesday 23 August 2016

Since this a version of division the best way is to use bc unless you know that the number is a perfect square.

echo (math "sqrt(25)") will output 5.

However, if you need the root of eg 13, then use bc.

echo (echo "scale=7; sqrt(13)" | bc)
