The spiral of Theodorus, numerical analysis, and special functions

Theodorus of Cyrene (ca. 460–399 B.C.), teacher of Plato und Theaetetus, is known for his proof of the irrationality of n , n = 2 , 3 , 5 , … , 17 . He may have known also of a discrete spiral, today named after him, whose construction is based on the square roots of the numbers n = 1 , 2 , 3 , … ....
