Mad Calculator

Hi people,

One of my tasks as a teacher is to teach maths to students around 13 years old.  To make life more interesting, we make a calculator using Applescript Studio.  Usually we have no difficulty with addition and subtraction and the other simple calculations and the students love using it for their class-work.  However one student. David decided to include other calculations on his calculator.  One of these is confusing me.
In script editor 9 ^ 0.5 =3
in Applescript studio 9 ^ 0.5 = 1

if the name of theObject is "squareRoot" then
set contents of text field "txtWholeEquation" of window "Calculator" to "(" & theseitems & ")" & " ^ 0.5"
set contents of text field "txtDisplay" of window "Calculator" to contents of text field "txtWholeEquation" of window "Calculator"

What is he doing wrong?
