We consider three methods, or algorithms, for finding the square root of a natural number we know to be a square. One is trial and error estimation, the other is the Babylonian method equivalent to Newton's method, and the third we call the Vedic method, since it goes back to the Hindus. It is completely feasible to do by hand.
This video belongs to Wildberger's MathFoundations series, which sets out a coherent and logical framework for modern mathematics.
i like the last method the best!

Wow, the last two examples didn't make sense. The second one actually did for a moment, but then I lost track. The final one completely blew my brain out which is pitiful on my part, obviously I am slower than I would like to be in the sense of mathematical cognition. However I am determined to master this even if I have to pay professors for one on one tutoring.

A great help for the "vedic" method (which was in fact taught in school before the advent of electric calculators) are Napier's Bones. Makes it much easier for big numbers or many decimals.
