So last night I was with my wife while she was shopping for clothes. Like any good husband I sat diligently in the chairs while she tried on new outfits and brought them out to remind me how little I know about fashion.
So while sitting in the chair I decided to entertain myself by calculating in my head the cubic roots of the various numbers around the store that were presented on sales signs. It was a lot of fun and kept me from going insane, but I was using a brute force approach of determining the cubes.
For the life of me, I cannot remember if I was ever taught how to perform cubic roots longhand style on paper and was wondering if in your wise old age you could tell me if their was a method and how it was performed.
