;;; Simple denesting of square roots.  Uses algorithm in maxima share package
;;; sqdnst.mac.  Should give identical results.
;;;
;;; Ref: Jeffrey and Rich (1999), Section 4.5.2
;;;
;;; Let X,Y real with X > Y > 0
;;;
;;; Consider
;;;     sqrt(X+Y) = sqrt(A) + sqrt(B)         (4.9)
;;;
;;; Squaring both sides
;;;     X + Y = A + B + 2 sqrt(A+B)           (4.10)
;;;
;;; One way to satify this is to set X=A+B and Y^2=4AB
;;;
;;; Also have
;;;     sqrt(X-Y) = sqrt(A) - sqrt(B)          (4.11)
;;;
;;; Solve for A and B in terms of X and Y to derive:
;;;
;;; Theorem 4.12: Let X,Y real with X > Y > 0     
;;; sqrt(X +/- Y) = sqrt(X/2+sqrt(X^2-Y^2)/2) +/- sqrt(X/2-sqrt(X^2-Y^2)/2)
;;;
;;; Apply this below by testing discriminant D = sqrt(1-(Y/X)^2)
;;;   If $numberp(D) then theorem 4.12 denests the square-root as
;;;   sqrt(X +/- Y) =  sqrt(X*(1+D)/2) +/- *sqrt(X*(1-D)/2)
;;; Note: X>0 and D<1 so both sqrt terms on RHS are real.
