in thread Approximating Square Roots

There was an intermediate step where I was using bdiv() and badd() and the like. The results were the same. And with Math::BigFloat, once you've created a new() item, it isn't expressly necessary to use bdiv(), bpow(), etc. You can use standard math operators, which is what I chose to do in this most recent version simply for readability. It was easier (to me, at least) to follow the logic.
