  Hey guys,

  I've been writing up a bunch of graphing tools in python...just for =
fun, and on paper I write x squared as x^2 - this is normal for me.
  However, in python, it is x**2 - right?
  My question is, what does x^2 do?  It seems like x^y =3D=3D=3D x + y - =
is this true?

  Thanks,
  Glen.
