An Old Babylonian Algorithm and Its Modern Applications

In this paper, an ancient Babylonian algorithm for calculating the square root of 2 is unveiled, and the potential link between this primitive technique and an ancient Chinese method is explored. The iteration process is a symmetrical property, whereby the approximate root converges to the exact one...
