I'm just curious as to how a calculator does the following operation:
##5^{1/\pi}##
I mean, it has to look for the number that raised to the power of pi, gives me 5. I think that's insane. How does it do that?
How does a calculator store the value of pi? -- I guess that's a more boring question because it might as well be it just "stores" it.
