Digital root number is the number mod 11 (Ɛ), for example, 1972 is 1 + 9 + 7 + 2 = 19 = 17 which is 1 + 7 = 8, while in decimal the root of the same number (3110) is 5; and in base 16 a digital root of a number is the number mod 15 (0xF), for example, 0x7DF is 7 + 13 + 15 = 35 = 0x23 which is 2 + 3 = 5, while in decimal the root of the same number (2015) is 8. Digital roots form an important mechanic in the visual novel adventure
Square root of a matrix a "positive-semidefinite matrix" has precisely one positive-semidefinite square root, which can be called its "principal square root". While the square root of a nonnegative integer is either again an integer or an irrational number, in contrast an "integer matrix" can have a square root whose entries are rational, yet not integer. For example, the matrix formula_8 has the non-integer square root formula_9 as well as the integer square root matrix formula_10. The 2×2 identity matrix is another example. A 2×2 matrix with two distinct nonzero eigenvalues has four square roots. More generally, an matrix with "distinct nonzero eigenvalues" has 2
