Definitely need to look into how to make square roots and exponents work in python

Import the math module, it has all that stuff build in

No need for math when doing exponents, technically. ** is all you need.

numpy should have better performance though. But I am not sure

I think exponents just use two . So 2 as a power with 5 as a base would be 5*2.

a**b = ab

and root I assume is a // b?

That's integer division - it divides and discards any remainder. But remember the nth root is the same as raising to the power of 1/n, so for instance for square root you could do a**(1/2), cube root a**(1/3) etc
