an American mathematician with a Ph.D. from Columbia University in 1943 on [|Transversality] in Higher Space. Dutka first calculated the [|Square root of 2] to more than one million digits. Starting with a rough approximation of the root derived from the [|Pell's equation], Dutka devised a special algorithm for that calculation.
