Visualize exponential power functions, including a Gaussian distribution.

The normal distribution and Gaussian distribution are based on an exponential power function:
f(x)=exp(-|x|^{m})
Letting m = 2
results in a Gaussian distribution. Standardizing this so that the area under the curve = 1 results in the standard normal distribution.
