Zero to the power of zero, denoted as 0 0, is a mathematical expression that can take different values depending on the context. In certain areas of mathematics, such as combinatorics and algebra, 0 0 is conventionally defined as 1 because this assignment simplifies many formulas and ensures consistency in operations involving exponents.
The binary number system expresses any number as a sum of powers of 2, and denotes it as a sequence of 0 and 1, separated by a binary point, where 1 indicates a power of 2 that appears in the sum; the exponent is determined by the place of this 1: the nonnegative exponents are the rank of the 1 on the left of the point (starting from 0), and ...
For example, from the differential equation definition, e x e −x = 1 when x = 0 and its derivative using the product rule is e x e −x − e x e −x = 0 for all x, so e x e −x = 1 for all x. From any of these definitions it can be shown that the exponential function obeys the basic exponentiation identity.
The same formula applies to octonions, with a zero real part and a norm equal to 1. These formulas are a direct generalization of Euler's identity, since i {\displaystyle i} and − i {\displaystyle -i} are the only complex numbers with a zero real part and a norm (absolute value) equal to 1 .
This list of mathematical series contains formulae for finite and infinite sums. It can be used in conjunction with other tools for evaluating sums. Here, is taken to have the value

Note that the subtraction identity is not defined if =, since the logarithm of zero is not defined. Also note that, when programming, a {\displaystyle a} and c {\displaystyle c} may have to be switched on the right hand side of the equations if c ≫ a {\displaystyle c\gg a} to avoid losing the "1 +" due to rounding errors.
