I have tried Googling, but am finding it difficult to track down an
answer to my question:
What's the easiest way to calculate the Nth root of a number in Ruby,
I've looked at the Math module but this doesn't seem to include this
functionality unless I'm missing something. Do I need to roll my own?
irb(main):001:0> # calculate a third root
irb(main):002:0> 10.0 ** (1.0/3.0)
=> 2.15443469003188

Probably should check for X > 0 and do appropriate
special case code if not.
