As a test, you can calculate the first 2,001 digits in the decimal expansion of the square root of two. The method involves multiplying 2 by 100^2000 before taking the square root. You will then have the 2,001 most significant digits of the square root of two. Just remember where the decimal point goes and you are all set! |
