I guess I should have made my post a little more clear. In my unix system administration class we have to write a script to do multiple calculations on a number. And one of the calculations is to find the square root. I asked my professor and he told me to search google for bash math functions, but that came up empty.

glare

GLARE(1)						      General Commands Manual							  GLARE(1)

NAME

       glare - perform glare and visual comfort calculations

SYNOPSIS

       glare [ glarefile [ picture [ octree ] ] ]

DESCRIPTION

       Glare  is  an interactive script for executing programs used to locate glare sources and compute glare indices and visual comfort probabil-
       ity.  If no glarefile is given, the program prompts the user for a one.	If the file does not exist, glare asks	the  user  some  questions
       about  the  scene in question then runs findglare(1) to compute values to store in the file.  Glare then presents the user a menu of avail-
       able glare index calculations.  After choosing a calculation, glare offers to store the result (usually not useful) or plot the information
       (but only for multiple glare angles).

       If you are creating a new glarefile, it usually works best to start with a displayed image for reference during the interrogation.
