2. Exponentiation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exponentiation

   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. The word "raised" is usually omitted, and sometimes "power" as well, so 3 5 can be simply read "3 to the 5th", or "3 to the 5".

3. Cube (algebra) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cube_(algebra)

   y = x 3 for values of 1 ≤ x ≤ 25. In arithmetic and algebra, the cube of a number n is its third power, that is, the result of multiplying three instances of n together. The cube of a number n is denoted n 3, using a superscript 3, [a] for example 2 3 = 8. The cube operation can also be defined for any other mathematical expression, for ...

4. Pascal's pyramid - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pascal's_pyramid

   The exponents of A are 3 and 2 (the larger being in the left term). The exponents of C are 0 and 1 (the larger being in the right term). The coefficients and larger exponents are related: 4 × 3 = 12 × 1; 4 / 12 = 1 / 3; These equations yield the ratio: "1:3". The rules are the same for all horizontal and diagonal pairs. The variables A, B, C ...

5. Tetration - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tetration

   There is no standard notation for tetration, though Knuth's up arrow notation and the left-exponent are common. Under the definition as repeated exponentiation, n a {\displaystyle {^{n}a}} means a a ⋅ ⋅ a {\displaystyle {a^{a^{\cdot ^{\cdot ^{a}}}}}} , where n copies of a are iterated via exponentiation, right-to-left, i.e. the application ...

6. Algebraic operation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Algebraic_operation

   Plain text, programming languages, and calculators also use a single asterisk to represent the multiplication symbol, [6] and it must be explicitly used; for example, 3x is written as 3 * x. Rather than using the ambiguous division sign (÷), [a] division is usually represented with a vinculum, a horizontal line, as in ⁠ 3 / x + 1 ⁠.

7. Proof of Fermat's Last Theorem for specific exponents

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proof_of_Fermat's_Last...

   The proof assumes a solution (x, y, z) to the equation x 3 + y 3 + z 3 = 0, where the three non-zero integers x, y, and z are pairwise coprime and not all positive. One of the three must be even, whereas the other two are odd. Without loss of generality, z may be assumed to be even.
