In the eleventh century, the French mathematician Nicolás Chuquet, writes his algebra treatise where he refers to an exponential notation, for example √ (35 – √ 15) was written as: RU ~ 35 m 15 R, where R is the square root, this is how the notation of exponential powers is very close to the current ones and where the radicals are classified as R. The first use of this symbol to represent the square root is found in the work of Leonardo de Pisa, “Practical Geometry” of the year 1220. Open Microsoft Word If you want to insert the radical into an existing document, open the document through the “File” menu.Ĭlick on Inserttop of the screen. Click on Symbol right side of the ribbon. Click on More symbolsin the box that appears.Ĭlick on the “Subset” that is displayed. Select “Mathematical operators” located in the third line. Click on “Insert.” The radical will appear in your document. The mathematical square root symbol is called radical. If you need to insert the radical in a Microsoft Word document, you can do so through the “Symbols” menu. Once inserted, you can place a number inside the radical or leave it blank, if you want to insert the number later.
If you have a Mac computer, its procedure is different. To put the square root symbol, you must enter the following key combination: Option + V key Square root symbol in word This mathematical symbol will automatically appear in the part of the document you need. In order to put on a Windows computer, you must activate the numeric keypad and enter the following key combination: Alt + 251
