Abstract | Presents the algorithm to approximate square roots as reproduced from the 1579 edition of an algebra book by Rafael Bombelli. The sequence of activities illustrates that the process of understanding an original source of mathematics, first at the algorithmic level and then with respect to its mathematical validity in modern terms, can be an enjoyable and enlightening mathematical strategy.
