2. Base (exponentiation) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Base_(exponentiation)

   The number n is called the exponent and the expression is known formally as exponentiation of b by n or the exponential of n with base b. It is more commonly expressed as "the nth power of b", "b to the nth power" or "b to the power n". For example, the fourth power of 10 is 10,000 because 10 4 = 10 × 10 × 10 × 10 = 10,000.

3. Exponentiation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exponentiation

   When an exponent is a positive integer, that exponent indicates how many copies of the base are multiplied together. For example, 3 5 = 3 · 3 · 3 · 3 · 3 = 243. The base 3 appears 5 times in the multiplication, because the exponent is 5. Here, 243 is the 5th power of 3, or 3 raised to the 5th power.

4. Order of operations - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Order_of_operations

   When exponents were introduced in the 16th and 17th centuries, they were given precedence over both addition and multiplication and placed as a superscript to the right of their base. [2] Thus 3 + 5 2 = 28 and 3 × 5 2 = 75. These conventions exist to avoid notational ambiguity while allowing notation to remain brief. [4]

5. List of logarithmic identities - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_logarithmic_identities

   These are the three main logarithm laws/rules/principles, [3] from which the other properties listed above can be proven. Each of these logarithm properties correspond to their respective exponent law, and their derivations/proofs will hinge on those facts. There are multiple ways to derive/prove each logarithm law – this is just one possible ...

6. Division (mathematics) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Division_(mathematics)

   In abstract algebra, given a magma with binary operation ∗ (which could nominally be termed multiplication), left division of b by a (written a \ b) is typically defined as the solution x to the equation a ∗ x = b, if this exists and is unique. Similarly, right division of b by a (written b / a) is the solution y to the equation y ∗ a = b ...

7. Floating-point arithmetic - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Floating-point_arithmetic

   where s is the significand (ignoring any implied decimal point), p is the precision (the number of digits in the significand), b is the base (in our example, this is the number ten), and e is the exponent. Historically, several number bases have been used for representing floating-point numbers, with base two being the most common, followed by ...
