Mathematical expression translator

Thanks, Wildcard.  I've never tried things like this before.  At first thought, it would seem that the algorithm would look for each character ^, then, for each, compare the characters going backwards and consider where to stop, put a "(" there, then continue until either a "(" or any mathematical function is found; next, do the same, going forward.  If this is the way to do it, I can see I would flounder in all the considerations I would have to take into account!  It really is too much for me, and definetely, "Not my cup of tea!"
