  2. Exponentiation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exponentiation

    Nicolas Chuquet used a form of exponential notation in the 15th century, for example 12 2 to represent 12x 2. [11] This was later used by Henricus Grammateus and Michael Stifel in the 16th century. In the late 16th century, Jost Bürgi would use Roman numerals for exponents in a way similar to that of Chuquet, for example iii 4 for 4 x 3 .

  3. Exponential function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exponential_function

    Exponential functions with bases 2 and 1/2. In mathematics, the exponential function is the unique real function which maps zero to one and has a derivative equal to its value. . The exponential of a variable ⁠ ⁠ is denoted ⁠ ⁡ ⁠ or ⁠ ⁠, with the two notations used interchangeab

  4. Engineering notation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engineering_notation

    Engineering notation or engineering form (also technical notation) is a version of scientific notation in which the exponent of ten is always selected to be divisible by three to match the common metric prefixes, i.e. scientific notation that aligns with powers of a thousand, for example, 531×10 3 instead of 5.31×10 5 (but on calculator displays written without the ×10 to save space).

  5. Reverse Polish notation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reverse_Polish_notation

    Video: Keys pressed for calculating eight times six on a HP-32SII (employing RPN) from 1991. Reverse Polish notation (RPN), also known as reverse Łukasiewicz notation, Polish postfix notation or simply postfix notation, is a mathematical notation in which operators follow their operands, in contrast to prefix or Polish notation (PN), in which operators precede their operands.

  6. 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.

  7. Computer algebra system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_algebra_system

    a programming language and an interpreter (the result of a computation commonly has an unpredictable form and an unpredictable size; therefore user intervention is frequently needed), a simplifier, which is a rewrite system for simplifying mathematics formulas,

  8. Ordinal arithmetic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ordinal_arithmetic

    In the mathematical field of set theory, ordinal arithmetic describes the three usual operations on ordinal numbers: addition, multiplication, and exponentiation.Each can be defined in essentially two different ways: either by constructing an explicit well-ordered set that represents the result of the operation or by using transfinite recursion.

  9. Matrix exponential - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matrix_exponential

    The matrix exponential of another matrix (matrix-matrix exponential), [24] is defined as = ⁡ = ⁡ for any normal and non-singular n×n matrix X, and any complex n×n matrix Y. For matrix-matrix exponentials, there is a distinction between the left exponential Y X and the right exponential X Y , because the multiplication operator for matrix ...
