Cube root can be done with a compass-and-straightedge construction. Newton's method is an iterative method that can be used to calculate the cube root. For real floating-point numbers this method reduces to the following iterative algorithm to produce successively better approximations of the cube root of "a": The method is simply averaging three factors chosen such that at each iteration. Halley's method improves upon this with an algorithm that converges more quickly with each step, albeit consuming more multiplication operations: With either method a poor initial approximation of "x" can give very poor algorithm performance, and coming up with a good initial
Gleaming the Cube the Netflix original series "" makes a word-play reference to the film. Episode four is titled "Greening the Cube." The film is referenced in the dialogue in "The Lego Batman Movie". Professional skateboarder Stevie Williams has stated in an online interview that Slater's character in the film was his first skateboarding influence. Skateboarding figure Tony Hawk, in a 2008 interview with Slater, revealed that he is continually asked if Slater actually skated in the film. Hawk has remained in contact with Slater well beyond the production of the film. Gleaming the Cube Gleaming the Cube (also known as A Brother's
