The basic magneto-resistance bridge forms a four-quadrant multiplier, but with the aid of operational amplifiers, provides 0.1% linearity in squaring, square-rooting, modulating, mixing, demodulating, rectifying, and related applications.

Analog Computation with Magnetoresistance Multipliers
Novel technique multiplies and divides in same package, achieves up to 0.1% accuracy for total cost less than $350 and provides electrical isolation between input and output signals.
