How does it work in the search window?
Select Create column in the search window toolbar, then select the Power operation. You need to specify two arguments:

Base mandatory | integer, float |
Exponent mandatory | integer, float |
The data type of the values in the new column is integer or float.
Example
In the my.upload.sample.data table, we want to raise the values in the numbers_int field of our table to the Power of 2. Name the field numbers_int_pow_2.
The arguments needed to create the new field are:
Base - numbers_int field
Exponent - Click the pencil icon and enter 2
Click Create column and you will see the following result:
How does it work in LINQ?
Use the operator select... as... and add the operation syntax to create the new column. These are the valid formats of the Power operation:
pow(number_base, number_exponent)
Example
You can copy the following LINQ script and try the above example on the my.upload.sample.data table.
from my.upload.sample.data
select split(message, ";", 17) as numbers,
int(numbers) as numbers_int,
pow(numbers_int, 2) as numbers_int_pow_2
