"It's so simple. With a two-liter bottle you add sugar, you add extract, you add a small amount of yeast and water, cap it up and in two days they've got root beer.

He was trying to describe electrons, but the theory said there are two roots in the quadratic equation and the second root is mathematically as interesting as the first one.

他当时只是想去描述电子,但是数学理论告诉我们,二次方程有两个根,而第二个根在数学上和第一个根一样有趣

60 If we look at 435 times 160, take the square root of that, we will end up with 264 kilojoules per mole, which sensibly lies between these two values.

35乘以，取平方根，我们会得到264千焦每摩，很合理地落在两数值之间。

Well I'm relying on the contract, if you like, that the manufacturer of square root put together, which is, if I know I'm giving it two floats, which I do because I make sure they're floats, the contract, if you like, of square root says I'll give you back a float.

好吧我能靠一些类似合约来保证，如果这么说你喜欢的话,其实就是当求平方根的方法,获得了两个我已经确认了是浮点数的数后,这个类似合约的东西就会保证，返回一个浮点数。

So we've looked at how to solve square root we've, looked at two problems, I've tried to instill in you this sense of paranoia which is so valuable, and now we're going to pull back Python and return to something much simpler than numbers, and that's Python. All right?

我们已经研究了如何去求平方根,研究了两种方法,我一直在尝试着给你们逐渐灌输,要偏执的理念，这样的理念非常有价值，现在我们回过头来去学习一些,比数字更简单的东西，也就是,对不对？数学问题很难？
