| Summary: | This thesis deals with four different methods of square-rooting 2 X 2 matrices - the exact, numerical, factorization and transformation methods. The exact method makes use of the diagonalization of matrices while the numerical method applies the extension of the Newton-Raphson method to matrices. In the Factorization method, the knowledge of prime factorization of matrices for a certain set of 2 X 2 matrices is used. Lastly, transformation method has the analogue of the De Moivre's Theorem as the main tool for square-rooting 2 X 2 matrices. Specifically, the procedure of getting the square roots of 2 X 2 matrices is discussed as well as the cases and conditions where the four methods work. Furthermore, examples are given to help illustrate the applicability of each method. |
