.SH DESCRIPTION
Calculate the square root of a given complex number,
2007-04-24 19:11:01 +00:00
with non-negative real part, and
2004-11-03 13:51:07 +00:00
with a branch cut along the negative real axis.
2005-07-06 12:57:38 +00:00
(That means that csqrt(\-1+eps*I) will be close to I while
csqrt(\-1\-eps*I) will be close to \-I, if eps is a small positive

real number.)
