Moving the decimal point ONE place in N requires moving it TWO places in body of table (see p. 6).

Explanation of Table of Squares (pp. 2-7).

This table gives the value of N2 for values of N from 1 to 10, correct to four figures. (Interpolated values may be in error by 1 in the fourth figure).

To find the square of a number N outside the range from 1 to 10, note that moving the decimal point one place in column N is equivalent to moving it two places in the body of the table. For example:

(3.217) 2

10.35; (0.03217) 2

==

0.001035; (3217) 2

This table can also be used inversely, to give square roots.
