SUMMARY

The discussion centers on finding the cube root of 2, specifically represented as \(\sqrt[3]{2}\). User Peter initially sought assistance in displaying this mathematical expression as shown in Dummit and Foote, Section 13.4. After some interaction, Peter confirmed that the correct notation for the cube root of 2 is indeed \(\sqrt[3]{2}\), successfully solving the query.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of mathematical notation and expressions
  • Familiarity with LaTeX formatting for mathematical typesetting
  • Basic knowledge of cube roots and their properties
  • Reference to Dummit and Foote's "Abstract Algebra" for context
NEXT STEPS
  • Research LaTeX syntax for advanced mathematical expressions
  • Explore cube root properties and their applications in algebra
  • Review Dummit and Foote, Section 13.4 for deeper insights
  • Learn about different methods for displaying mathematical notation online
USEFUL FOR

Students, educators, and mathematicians interested in mathematical notation, particularly in the context of algebra and LaTeX formatting.

EDIT ... ... SOLVED ...Can anyone help me with displaying the cube root of 2 as shown in the example below taken from Dummit and Foote, Section 13.4 ...https://www.physicsforums.com/attachments/6605Help will be appreciated,

Peter*** EDIT ***

Just found what I think is the solution ... it's \sqrt [3] {2} I think $$\sqrt [3] {2}$$
