every time someone says they're bad at math I feel an urge to help them understand math better and usually they don't want that
@Felthry what's √ this one do?
@pillowcat square root?
@Felthry *that's* the squiggly for that??
Follow
@pillowcat Yeah, that's the square root symbol. It's supposed to have an overline over the things you're taking the square root of too
@BatElite @pillowcat yeah, there's a unicode symbol for the cube root too also, but not for any other roots
@pillowcat @Felthry Yeah it gets worse.
@pillowcat @BatElite yeah, like the cube root of 8 is 2, because 2³ is 8
@pillowcat @BatElite yep, that's what roots are
@pillowcat @Felthry I don't blame you.
@Felthry @pillowcat They put a number over the v bit if it's a non-square root.
