EXP: Raising e to the Nth Power

How to:

The EXP function raises the value "e" (approximately 2.72) to a specified power. This function is the inverse of the LOG function, which returns the logarithm of the argument.

EXP calculates the result by adding terms of an infinite series. If a term adds less than .000001 percent to the sum, the function ends the calculation and returns the result as a double-precision number.
