Hello,

A silly question for the math enthusiasts among you:

I would like to know which key corresponds to "^" on the Windows calculator, considering that in scientific mode the "exp" key does not give me the same results.

Thank you :)

Configuration: Windows 7 / Safari 534.30

    Hello,
    The ^ key (EXP on some calculators) normally corresponds to "power"
    On the Windows scientific calculator, it will be x raised to the power of y (next to COS)

    As for EXP, it actually corresponds to the logarithm with base 10 (log on some calculators)

    To err is human: EXP stands for the exponential and not the exponent.

    As for the computer symbol ^, it is no longer used, as it has been replaced by the mathematical literal form for clarity.

    The image below shows the equivalences:
