m^n = m*m n number of times

I'm hardly a math genius, but ^ means "to the power of".

Examples: 2^2 = 2 to the second power = 2 squared = 4

x^2y^3 = x to the second power times y to the third power = x squared times y cubed

Don't feel too bad; I had to think about that for a minute when I first saw it typed. Without superscript functions, it's the best way to express "to the power of".

Have a great day!

It's used for exponents when you can't do a superscript (for example, here).

5^2 = 5 squared = 25
4^4 = 4 to the 4th power = 256
2^10 = 2 to the 10th power = 1024

etc.
