User blog:Primussupremus/Back to the basics.

Well I have decided too take peoples advice and go back to the basics instead of using my own notation I will use exponents and the other hyper operators once I have mastered all the other operators I will focus on refining my notation. Too begin I will be going over some of the most basic operators such as addition and multiplication.

To recap: Addition refers to the sum of two numbers we can call x and y that gives an answer z another word for addition well words is sum of for example the sum of 5 and 10 is 15. Subtraction and division are not really part of Googology in a big way as they tend to decrease or separate things.Multiplication is just repeated addition so for example 5*5= 5+5+5+5+5=25. The next level above that are exponents this means repeated repeated multiplication of the same number by itself for example 10^6=10*10*10*10*10*10. Above that is tetration this means repeated exponentiation for example 2^2^2=2^4=16 and 3^3^3=3^27=just over 7 trillion. Too denote the higher operations we will use up arrows as this is easier than just making giant towers of numbers. 2↑2=2^2 and 3↑3=3^3 one arrow represents exponentiation. 3↑↑3=3↑3↑3=3^3^3=3^27=over 7 trillion.3↑↑4=3^3^3^3=3^3↑↑3=3^over 7 trillion. 3↑↑↑3= 3↑↑3↑↑3=3^3^3^3^3^3... and there are 3↑↑3 3's in the tower. That is all for now in my next blog I will look over quadruple up arrows.
