Hackaday reader [nats.fr] wrote in with some code from a project that resizes a video stream on the fly using an FPGA. Doing this right means undoing whatever gamma correction has been applied to the ...

One day while working on a task with another engineer, we needed to take the square root of a rather large number and both of us had momentarily misplaced our calculators. “Okay”, I said. “It'll just ...

Years ago, no math education was complete without understanding how to compute a square root. Today, you are probably just reaching for a calculator, or if you are writing a program, you’ll probably ...

Logarithms and square root are non-elementary operations frequently used in digital signal processing. In this work, implementation and design of an IP-Core to compute square root and multibase ...

The C routine in Listing 1 generates the cube root of either a positive or a negative number. The number can range from a small fraction to greater than 1 billion. Note that this idea is irrelevant ...

We present a novel idea to compute square roots over finite fields, without being given any quadratic nonresidue, and without assuming any unproven hypothesis. The algorithm is deterministic and the ...
