This declaration obviously depends on IEEE format 32-bit numbers (SingleReal). The idea is that the index field has the low bit of the exponent and the high 4 bits of the mantissa, which is used to index a table of initial guesses at the square root, each guess is roughly halfway between the lowest and highest root with the given index, which allows convergence with only two iterations. I don't know where the table originated.

David Goldberg notes regarding the accuracy of two methods for computing ArcCos, where Method 1 is ArcTan[SqRt[1.0-x*x], x], and Method 2 is the one above:
When x ~ y, then x-y is dangerous if x and/or y have suffered roundoff error, because all the significant digits may be cancelled, leaving only roundoff error. That's the trouble with 1-x*x; there will be roundoff error in x*x, and if x ~ 1, then 1-x*x can have a large relative error. However, if x ~ 1, (in fact, if 1/2 < x < 2), then 1-x is exact because there is no roundoff error. Thus 1/(1-x) is very accurate. That's the theory according to floating point experts.
Method 1 is worse when x = 1-n*2^(-24), n = sqrt(2^(23)), i.e., x = 0.9998274. The correct value is 1.857983e-02; Method 1 gives 1.858144e-2 (error .000161e-2) while Method 2 gives 1.858064e-2 (error .000081e-2). So, in this case, Method 2 has half the error of Method 1.

-- All best rational approximations of a real x may be obtained from x's continued fraction representation, x = c0 + 1/(c1 + 1/(c2 + 1/(...))) = [c0, c1, c2, ... ], by truncation to k terms and possibly "interpolation" of the last term. The continued fraction expansion itself is obtained by a variant of the standard GCD algorithm, which is folded into the recursions generating successive numerators and denominators. These recursions both have the same form: fk ck*fk-1 + fk-2.
