Look at the numerics library (Ada.Numerics) elementary functions "**".

Unfortunately, I do not have access to that library. But, I did find a
log function, so I can manipulate the equation mathematically and get
it in a form that I can deal with.
Thanks for your help,

Assuming you are using Ada 95, you have access to more than you think you
have. If you have found Log, the same package should have "**". The
description is found in Section A.5.1 (Annex A), paragraph (4) of the Ada
Reference Manual. Check under the URL http://www.adahome.com/rm95/ if
you don't know where to find the Ada Reference Manual.

Sounds like you may be using Ada 83. If you post what compilation system
you are using, someone may be able to provide more help. Your compiler
documentation may also provide information on math functions.
