Exponentiation
Exponentiation is a mathematical operation, written an, involving two numbers, the base a and the exponent n. When n is a positive integer, exponentiation corresponds to repeated multiplication:
The exponent is usually shown as a superscript to the right of the base. The exponentiation an can be read as: a raised to the n-th power or a raised to the power n, or more briefly: a to the n-th power or a to the power n. Some exponents can be read in a certain way; for example a2 is usually read as a squared and a3 as a cubed.
