.SH DESCRIPTION
-Calculate the square root of a given complex number,
-with nonnegative real part, and
+These functions calculate the complex square root of
+.IR z ,
with a branch cut along the negative real axis.
-(That means that csqrt(-1+eps*I) will be close to I while
-csqrt(-1-eps*I) will be close to -I, if eps is a small positive
+(That means that \fIcsqrt(\-1+eps*I)\fP will be close to I while
+\fIcsqrt(\-1\-eps*I)\fP will be close to \-I, \fIif eps\fP is a small positive
real number.)
