>             Project: Commons Math
>          Issue Type: Bug
>    Affects Versions: 1.2, 2.0, 2.1
>         Environment: Issue 15 http://code.google.com/p/symja/issues/detail?id=15
>            Reporter: Axel Kramer
>             Fix For: 2.2

> Why does this unit test in ComplexTest.java gives NaN?
> I expected to get Complex.ZERO as the result?
> {code:java} 
>    public void testPowZero() {
>        TestUtils.assertSame(Complex.NaN,
>                Complex.ZERO.pow(Complex.ONE));
> ...
>    }
> {code} 
> I would suggest something like this for the Complex#pow() method:
> {code:java} 
>     public Complex pow(Complex x) {
>         if (x == null) {
>             throw new NullPointerException();
>         }
>         if (x.imaginary == 0.0) {
>           if (real == 0.0 && imaginary == 0.0) {
>             if (x.real == 0.0){      	
>             	return Complex.ZERO;
>             }
>           }
>           if (x.real == 1.0) {
>           	return this;
>           }
>         }
>         return this.log().multiply(x).exp();
>     }
> {code}
