J James Silverton Oct 11, 2003 #3 What does the function or symbol ^ mean? Click to expand... I'm surprised but it *is* tricky to find out the meaning of ^ : the power symbol, if you are encountering it for the first time. You can get help if you ask for calculation operators but that's not what I would have thought of first!
