Math Square Root

Hi I just stumbled on to these forums today, and I relatively new to unix. I am trying to figure out how to find the square root of a number using a shell script. I am using bash and I have searched and searched but cannot figure out square roots. Hopefully someone can point me in the right direction this is driving me crazy.
