  Steinhaus–Moser notation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In mathematics, Steinhaus–Moser notation is a means of expressing certain extremely large numbers.
It is an extension of Steinhaus's polygon notation.
Moser's number is the number represented by "2 in a megagon", where a "megagon" is a polygon with "mega" sides.

In mathematics, Moser's polygon notation is a means of expressing certain large numbers.
It is the obvious extension of Steinhaus polygon notation, ie., n written in an (m+1)-gon means "n in n m-gons".
Moser's number is "2 in a Megagon", using Steinhaus' Mega.

 Large numbers - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Scientific notation was created to handle the wide range of values which occur in scientific study.
The range 10–1e10 brings the notation closer to ordinary scientific notation, and the notation reduces to it if the number is itself in that range (the part "10^^0@" can be dispensed with).
Steinhaus-Moser notation; apart from the method of construction of large numbers, this also involves a graphical notation with polygons; alternative notations, like a more conventional function notation, can also be used with the same functions.

 SS > factoids > big numbers
The so-called "large primes" -- useful for cryptography -- are relatively small compared to the kind of numbers that soon arise in these notations.
In order to express general relationships, it is useful to have a rather different notation, than captures the number of sides of the polygons, and the number of repetitions of the polygons, symbolically.
The Moser construction yields big numbers much faster than does the up-arrow notation, but there are a lot of up-arrows in the Graham number.

Usually in notation the operator is placed between the two numbers.
This notation is elegant, powerful, relatively easy to use and covers a greater range than any other discussed on these pages, within the limits of functional formal systems.
These numbers were constructed by Hugo Steinhaus and Leo Moser (in the late 1970's or earlier, exact date unknown) just to show that it is easy to create a notation for extremely large numbers.

 large numbers
However, even this seemingly immense integer is made to look ridiculously small by the likes of more recently described numbers, such as Graham's number, the Mega, and the Moser, which are so utterly vast that it takes several pages just to describe the various special notations used to represent them.
Just as writing out a number "in full," or in place-value notation, becomes unwieldy with numbers as big as a googol, so exponentiation, in turn, endangers the world's forests if it tries to take on seriously large numbers.
The Ackermann function and the Steinhaus-Moser notation are both equivalent to a triadic operator that is somewhat more powerful than hy(a, n, b).

Throughout this article, exponential or scientific notation is used.
In science, since the 1800s, numbers have been written using the familiar "scientific notation", in which powers of ten are expressed as a ten with a numeric superscript, e.g.
An easy way to find out scientific notation for one of the above numbers in the short scale is to take the Latin cardinal number indicated in the name (Such as 2 in 'bi'llion, 4 in 'quadri'llion, 18 in 'octodec'illion etc), then add one to it, and finally multiply the whole thing by 3.

Conway's chained arrow notation is a means of expressing certain large numbers.
It is impossible to give a fully worked-out interesting example since at least 4 elements are required.
However 1-, 2- and 3-length chains, which are subsumed in other notations, are expanded here as illustrated examples.

This notation is based on Knuth's up-arrow notation.
In this notation, three or more numbers are joined by right-arrows.
It might be thought of as a function with a variable number of arguments, or perhaps a function whose single argument is an ordered list or vector.

 Hyper operator - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The family has not been extended from natural numbers to real numbers in general for n>3, due to nonassociativity in the "obvious" ways of doing it.
The other degrees do not collapse in this way, and so this family has some interest of its own as lower (perhaps lesser or inferior) hyper operators.

A notation for large numbers developed by the American mathematician Donald Knuth in 1976.
Even up-arrow notation becomes cumbersome, however, when faced with staggeringly large numbers such as Graham's number.

Steinhaus attributes the proof using the fact that a first player strategy is the negation of a second player strategy to Mycielski, but without a reference (AMM 72 (1965) 400; see also Kac, AMM 81 (1974) 577).
Steinhaus, Sur la division pragmatique, Econometrica (supplement) 17 (1949) 315-319, is cited as the source of the problems and as giving Banach & Knaster's solution, though the material occurs in English in Econometrica 16 (1948) 101-104.

 Googolplex - Free net encyclopedia
Since a googolplex is one followed by a googol zeroes, it would not be possible to write down or store a googolplex in decimal notation, even if all the matter in the known universe were converted into paper and ink or disk drives.
In pure mathematics, the magnitude of a googolplex is not as large as some of the specially defined extraordinarily large numbers, such as those written with tetration, Knuth's up-arrow notation, Steinhaus-Moser notation, or Conway chained arrow notation.
Some sequences grow very quickly; for instance, the first two Ackermann numbers are 1 and 4, but then the third is {\ ^{7625597484987}3} , a power tower of threes more than seven trillion high.
