I would argue that the longer name is more helpful. With "real_nth_root" it's clear what you're getting; if I just say r_rootn or rootn, I might wonder what the "r" and "n" meant. Anyone who wants something shorter could do rootn = real_nth_root and use "rootn". Dan -- --- Dan Drake ----- www.math.wisc.edu/~ddrake/ -------
