I don't understand why 0 to the 0 doesn't equal 0?
Cool post though.

Isn't the logic something like:
4^(1)==4^(4-3)==(4 * 4 * 4 * 4)/(4 * 4 * 4)
http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=4^%281%29%3D%3D4^%284-3... Therefore
4^0==4^(n-n)== ( 4 * 4 * .. * 4 / 4 * 4 * .. * 4 ) ==1
http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=4^0%3D%3D4^%28n-n%29%3D... So with 0 you would have
0^0==0^(n-n)==(0 * 0 * .. * 0)/(0 * 0 * .. * 0)==0/0==DNE
http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=prod%280%2C+for+i%3D0+t... Of course I use 4 here to be descriptive but it would be equivalent for any nonzero real number.
