At the moretypes/14 page, x^y is used to mean exponentiation but the math package uses x**y. Also, the XOR version is prettier than the math.Pow version.

I believe this is fixed in https://go-review.googlesource.com/#/c/11134/3/content/moretypes.article by removing the reference math.Pow() (so the reader is no longer directed to documentation that uses the x**y syntax).
