Again, you are looking for the "one true answer" and declaring that other answers are wrong. That is not the case here. Please review this survey of the question from the sci.math FAQ on this point: "Consensus has recently been built around setting the value of 0^0 = 1" http://www.faqs.org/faqs/sci-math-faq/specialnumbers/0to0/ Regards, -Rob > Hagar
