Yeah, I dunno, I think exponents are debatable for this one since they do represent multiple use of the same number (ie: 4^6 = 4x4x4x4x4x4).
Squares and exponents are definitely arithmetic though, it's just shorthand for long multiplications... ;p

Inside each person lives two wolves. One is loyal, kind, respectful, humble and open to the mystery of life. The other is greedy, jealous, hateful, afraid and blind to the wonders of life. They are in battle for your spirit. The one who wins is the one you feed.
