Description (last modified by kcrisman)

We currently use a lambda construction in the plot documentation for showing how to get around x^(1/3) giving complex numbers for negative input.

Mike Jackson of Grove City College had a better idea, which his faculty use with Mathematica. 

plot(sign(x)*abs(x)^(1/3),-1,1)

Let's put this in the documentation!
