New methods for finding the n th root of a positive number m, to any degree of accuracy, are discussed.These methods are based on finding eigen values and eigen vectors of a special matrix.For even order matrices, the method is founded on the well-known power method.The desired root and its higher powers can also be obtained from the same matrix.
