In math, we write the exponent operator using superscript notation. Typically, the operator appears in an expression like this:
In plain language, this means raise the base to the -th power. For example, we write raised to the -nd power like this:
The expression before the superscript text is referred to as the base and the superscript expression is referred to as the exponent.
To compute the result of exponentiation see this page.
Logarithms are often abreviated as "log" followed by a subscript number representing the base and the number that the logarithm is being applied to.
In math, we use the √ symbol to represent the square root and the n-th root of an expression.
