Now, you may notice that this doesn't help if we are interested in numbers like <math> 2^{\frac{1}{2}}<\math> or <math>2^{-1}<\math>. This is covered in the [[Recommended | Now, you may notice that this doesn't help if we are interested in numbers like <math> 2^{\frac{1}{2}}<\math> or <math>2^{-1}<\math>.
