The key word here is "fast": _Quake_ ran on very limited hardware, and traditional approximation techinques (like Taylor series)#footnote[In fact, Taylor series aren't used today, and for the same reason: there are better ways.] were too computationally expensive to be viable.

Our goal today is to understand how `Q_sqrt` works. \
|
||||
To do that, we'll first need to understand how computers represent numbers. \
|
||||
We'll start with simple binary---turn the page.
