I started my experiment with some basic things like why
. (+) +(+)=(+)
. (+) +(-)=(-)
. (-) (-)=(+)
. What is the logic behind the log table
. Why the value of trignometric ratio changes in different quadrants.
. Validity of all mensuration result.
. I also discovered the value of pi =22/7 in my own way.
. All these results gave me support to go ahead but I was looking for" MY OWN ORIGINAL PIECE OF WORK".
I found the division formula of finding the square root very interesting.I tried hard to find the logic behind this.
I questioned many teachers but no one gave me the satisfactory answer.
Last year after giving II nd year exam I had a great time to think on this matter.
Finally I found the logic of square root and then I made a new division method to find "CUBE ROOTS ".
I wrote a book 'My experiment with Square and Cube roots'. I gave that to our respected sir Pankaj Gupta
(Dept. of Maths ) DDUC .It consists of 50 pages having all the details of my experiment
e.g.'how the idea originated ,what problems came in my way and how I tackled them '

Step 2. Once we have properly removed a2 ,then the next main thing is to remove b2+2ab .In this case
we have (a) so we can get 2a .Now make a guess (?) i.e b and multiply
(2ab+b)*b=2ab+b2.
144 = 12
a2 2ab b2

NOTE : This is based on the assumption that a number can be written in the form of (a+b) only.
10 144 10+2
-100
20+2 44

Rule: Whatever is your last guess add that in divisor before guessing new one
Conclusion : From the above example we find that the square root of a number can be found out
in various methods but we people always look for the shortest path to reach destination,so the shortest
way to find square root of 144 is to put 12.
But we can't always do this ,so the best method to get a number is its PLACE VALUE
So we take an example of 15625 whose root is 125

Find "a" by guessing multiply "a" by "a2" so that you will get "a3",but write only "a" in
. quotient.
we know that we have to remove "b3+3a2b+3ab2 " since "b" is unknown ,
we can get two things from "a" i.e (i)3a2 (ii)3a
now make a guess of "b" and multiply as follows:
. 3a2 *b
. 3a *b2
. b *b2 =b3

In case of perfect cube by looking at only the the unit place one can guess the second digit
correctly.However this method is applicable to only those numbers which are cube of numbers
lying between (11-99).
For numbers greater than 99, we have to use the last version of this formula (which can not be
discussed here due to lack of space),which is universally applicable for all the digits as well as for
imperfect cube roots.
I know there will be several questions & doubts in your mind which is quite natural.interested person
can contact me personally.
