This lecture covers the calculation of square roots using Newton's method, starting with an initial estimate and iteratively improving it by taking the mean of the estimate and the original number. The implementation in Scala involves defining a recursive function to compute the square root. The lecture also discusses the precision issues with the isGoodEnough test and challenges students to design a more accurate version.
