Theres no way to type a cube root, and (-8)^(1/3) won't work.

This seems to be an error with javascript itself :O. Math.pow(-8, 1/3) returns NaN. I'll be looking into this.

This is an unavoidable flaw with the IEEE flaying point specification I think since it cannot represent 0.33333333333333....
