+
+pow(base, exponent)
+===================
+
+Description
+-----------
+
+Calculates the value of a number raised to a power. Pow() can be
+used to raise a number to a fractional power. This is useful for
+generating exponential mapping of values or curves.
+
+
+
+Parameters
+----------
+
+base: the number (*float*)
+
+
+
+exponent: the power to which the base is raised (*float*)
+
+
+
+Returns
+-------
+
+The result of the exponentiation (*double*)
+
+
+
+Example
+-------
+
+See the `fscale <http://arduino.cc/playground/Main/Fscale>`_
+function in the code library.
