	(-5)^2, -5^2 and -(5)^2		1999-10-13
		From Jennifer Brown: What is the difference between the following problems: (-5)2, -52 and -(5)2 Our text book (Beginning Algebra, fourth edition, published by McGraw Hill, by Streeter, Huthison and Hoetzle) says the second and third problem are exactly the same. I don't see how that can be. Is there a mathematical rule that explains this? Answered by Penny Nom.

		From Derek Yau: I would like to know why any number to the exponent 0 equals to 1 also, I would like you to please answer this question: -(4)^0 = ? I know the answer is 1 but I am confused as to if it is a negative one or a positive one. Answered by Jack LeSage and Penny Nom.
	le système RSA		2005-02-19
		From Un eleve: Je suis actuellement en classe préparatoire MP au lycée Henri Poincaré de Nancy et je souhaiterais obtenir des informations sur l'exponentiation modulaire car je réalise un TIPE sur la cryptographie et plus particulièrement le système RSA. pourriez-vous m'indiquez en quoi consiste l'exponentiation modulaire et comment cela fonctionne.
