I know RPN-people like to save strokes of any kind, but there are brackets to make it clear and to keep the set of symbols orthogonal ;-).

Hey, we've got two division symbols, with one intended to prevent ambiguity, so let's do the same with powers.

Or better yet, no more powers. Only EXP(Y*LN(X)).

(This is all more proof that RPN is better.)
