Experienced behavior is mathematically correct. Expectation expressed would be incorrect.
Exponentiation takes precedence over division and multiplication. Unary negation takes
precedence over exponentiation.

When x=-1 x^2 should be (-1)^2 not -(1^2) since we are squaring negative 1
so -1^2=1

Subtraction of x should not take precedence over exponentiation
1/1-1^2 should be 1/1-(1^2) since we are subtracting 1 squared

When you need to negate the square simply use parentheses.

Hope this helps.

SpeedCrunch is great!

I wish it was that simple. Please see issue 160
