Magic cube classes Perfect magic cube. Nasik; A. H. Frost (1866) referred to all but the simple magic cube as Nasik!<br> C. Planck (1905) redefined "Nasik" to mean magic hypercubes of any order or dimension in which all possible lines summed correctly.<br> i.e. Nasik is a preferred alternate, and less ambiguous term for the "perfect" class.<br>Minimum correct summations required = 13"m". All pan-"r"-agonals sum correctly for "r" = 1, 2 and 3. Alternate Perfect Note that the above is a relatively new definition of "perfect". Until about 1995 there was much confusion about what constituted a "perfect" magic cube (see the discussion under
Nth root group: Find the square root of 152.2756. Find the cube root of 4192 to the nearest hundredth. The principal "n"th root of a positive number can be computed using logarithms. Starting from the equation that defines "r" as an "n"th root of "x", namely formula_80 with "x" positive and therefore its principal root "r" also positive, one takes logarithms of both sides (any base of the logarithm will do) to obtain The root "r" is recovered from this by taking the antilog: For the case in which "x" is negative and "n" is odd, there is one real root "r"
