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.

NAME
dlabad.f - SYNOPSIS
Functions/Subroutines subroutine dlabad (SMALL, LARGE) DLABAD Function/Subroutine Documentation subroutine dlabad (double precisionSMALL, double precisionLARGE) DLABAD Purpose: DLABAD takes as input the values computed by DLAMCH for underflow and overflow, and returns the square root of each of these values if the log of LARGE is sufficiently large. This subroutine is intended to identify machines with a large exponent range, such as the Crays, and redefine the underflow and overflow limits to be the square roots of the values computed by DLAMCH. This subroutine is needed because DLAMCH does not compensate for poor arithmetic in the upper half of the exponent range, as is found on a Cray. Parameters: SMALL SMALL is DOUBLE PRECISION On entry, the underflow threshold as computed by DLAMCH. On exit, if LOG10(LARGE) is sufficiently large, the square root of SMALL, otherwise unchanged. LARGE LARGE is DOUBLE PRECISION On entry, the overflow threshold as computed by DLAMCH. On exit, if LOG10(LARGE) is sufficiently large, the square root of LARGE, otherwise unchanged.
