See if this givs you some ideas:
public static class GenericMathExtensions
{
    public static double? Exp<T>(this T tvalue, double topower)
    where T : 
        struct, 
        IComparable, 
        IComparable<T>, 
        IConvertible, 
        IEquatable<T>, 
        IFormattable
    {
        if (typeof(T).IsNumeric())
        {
            try
            {
                return Math.Pow(Convert.ToDouble(tvalue), topower);
            }
            catch
            {
                 // throw invalid cast exception ?
            }
        }

        return null;
    }

    // based on:
    // https://stackoverflow.com/a/13179018/133321
    public static bool IsNumeric(this Type type)
    {
        switch (Type.GetTypeCode(type))
        {
            case TypeCode.Byte:
            case TypeCode.SByte:
            case TypeCode.UInt16:
            case TypeCode.UInt32:
            case TypeCode.UInt64:
            case TypeCode.Int16:
            case TypeCode.Int32:
            case TypeCode.Int64:
            case TypeCode.Decimal:
            case TypeCode.Double:
            case TypeCode.Single:
                return true;
            case TypeCode.Object:
                if (type.IsGenericType && type.GetGenericTypeDefinition() == typeof(Nullable<>))
                {
                    return Nullable.GetUnderlyingType(type).IsNumeric();
                    //return IsNumeric(Nullable.GetUnderlyingType(type));
                }
                return false;
            default:
                return false;
        }
    }
}
Note: the Convert.ToDouble method can handle other types than those this code restricts the usage to.
«... thank the gods that they have made you superior to those events which they have not placed within your own control, rendered you accountable for that only which is within you own control For what, then, have they made you responsible? For that which is alone in your own power—a right use of things as they appear.» Discourses of Epictetus Book I:12
