When typing a calculation to Wolfram Alpha it always takes 0^0 as undefined, but for some calculations I need to preform, I specifically need it to be equal 1.
Is there a way to make it understand 0^0 as 1, or is there at least a workaround for this? (cases of 0^n where n>0 should still be 0)
Hi,
you can always define your own function:
myPower[x_, y_] := If[y == 0, 1, Power[x^y]]
or,alternatively, not recommended, redefine the existing function:
Unprotect[Power]; Power[x_, y_] := If[y == 0, 1, Power[x^y]] Protect[Power];
Cheers,

You have to regard it as a limit, where it depends on the "path" towards that limit:
