How to do exponentiation in clojure?

Question

How can I do exponentiation in clojure? For now I\'m only needing integer exponentiation, but the question goes for fractions too.

Answer 1

How about clojure.contrib.genric.math-functions

There is a pow function in the clojure.contrib.generic.math-functions library. It is just a macro to Math.pow and is more of a "clojureish" way of calling the Java math function.
