Default Using the math coprocessor?

Hi,
I've been recently looking into algorithms for identifying nth root of a number.
It appears that in order to achieve maximum efficiency, I should implement the algorithm so that the FPU coprocessor is being used for the floating-point operations rather than the main CPU.

My question is fairly simple: Where can I find some documentation to get started? My usual sources of reference for C++ programming produce nothing at all.
