Incidentally how many people on Silk can recall how to calculate the square

Not that I was a product of the Indian education system, but I can
calculate a square root manually. It's not a particularly difficult
process, although it is tedious.
My children, however, who were educated by the finest math program I
could find (Singapore math, developed for and used by the schools in
Singapore) have not had to calculate square roots. Instead, they have
solved a great many difficult and interesting word problems
