Why Java's math expression (power) is so inconvenient and error prone?

Hi,
My program need a lot of calculation of power. In many programming languages,
2**3 = 8; //or
2^3 = 8;
The syntax is clean and easy. But in Java,
Math.pow(2, 3) = 8; //It is so long, and complicated and error prone
Again, in many languages,
EXP(1) = 2.7 //e value
But in Java,
Math.pow(Math.E, 1) = 2.7 //You see, so complicated
Normally, in one calculation, 2**3 or EXP(3.5) is only part of expression, like "a + b**3 + EXP(-a)". In Java, it will be very long and error prone!
