The Square Root of 5 by Robert Nemiroff and Jerry Bonnell What follows are the first 1 million digits of the square root of 5. Actually, slightly more than 1 million digits are given here. These digits were computed by Robert Nemiroff (George Mason University and NASA Goddard Space Flight Center) checked by Jerry Bonnell (University Space Research Association and NASA Goddard Space Flight Center). They were computed during spare time on a VAX alpha class machine over the course of a weekend. We do NOT guarantee the accuracy of these digits. Although these digits have been checked once we encourage others to check them as well. We have computed at least 10 million digits of the square root of two as well as several digits of the number e and the square roots of other numbers. These are available on this mosaic server (URL: http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/htmltest/rjn.html). We welcome comments. --Robert Nemiroff and Jerry Bonnell The square root of 5 = 2.2360679774997896964091736687312762354406183596115257242708972454105209256378 04899414414408378782274969508176150773783504253267724447073863586360121533452708 86677817319187916581127664532263985658053576135041753378500342339241406444208643 25390972525926272288762995174024406816117759089094984923713907297288984820886415 42689894099131693577019748678884425089754132956183176921499977424801530434115035 95766833251249881517813940800056242085524354223555610630634282023409333198293395 97463522712013417496142026359047378855043896870611356600457571399565955669569175 64578221952500060539231234005009286764875529722056766253666074485853505262330678 49463342224231763727702663240768010444331582573350589309813622634319868647194698 99701808189524264459620345221411922329125981963258111041704958070481204034559949 43506855551855572512388641655010262436312571024449618789424682903404474716115455 72320173767659046091852957560357798439805415538077906439363972302875606299948221 38521773485924535151210463455550407072278724215347787529112121211843317893351910 38008011118179004590618846249647104244248308880129406811314695953279447898998931 69157746079246180750067987712420484738050277360829155991396244891494356068346252 90644083279446426808889897460463083535378750420613747576068834018790881925591179 73574464190248537871146194090191913688035110397638436041281058110378698951852014 69704564202176389289088444637782638589379244004602887540539846015606170522361509 03857754100421936849872542718503752155576933167230047782698666624462106784642724 86385274578213410067985645305271124180595972849455195451310172309750871496529436 28290254001204778032415546448998870617799819003360656224388640963928775351726629 59714382279563079561495230154442350165389172786409130419793971113562821393674576 81174922067562108887818873671671627622623379877111539509682982890683018259081401 00389550972326150845283458789360734639611723667836657198260792144028911900899558
