%N Decimal expansion of cube root of 2.

%C 2^(1/3) is Hermite's constant gamma_3. - _Jean-François Alcover_, Sep 02 2014, after Steven Finch.

%C For doubling the cube using origami and a standard geometric construction employing two right angles see the W. Lang link, Application 2, p. 14, and the references given there. See also the L. Newton link. - _Wolfdieter Lang_, Sep 02 2014

%C Length of an edge of a cube with volume 2. - _Jared Kish_, Oct 16 2014

%C For any positive real c, the mappings R(x)=(c*x)^(1/4) and S(x)=sqrt(c/x) have the same unique attractor c^(1/3), to which their iterated applications converge from any complex plane point. The present case is obtained setting c=2. It is noteworthy that in this way one can evaluate cube roots using only square roots. The CROSSREFS list some other cases of cube roots to which this comment might apply. - _Stanislav Sykora_, Nov 11 2015

%C The cube root of any positive number can be connected to the Philo lines (or Philon lines) for a 90-degree angle. If the equation x^3-2 is represented using Lill's method, it can be shown that the path of the root 2^(1/3) creates the shortest segment (Philo line) from the x axis through (1,2) to the y axis. For more details see the article "Lill's method and the Philo Line for Right Angles" linked below. - _Raul Prisacariu_, Apr 06 2024
