TIL that before exponential notation was invented, mathematicians used words to represent exponents. For instance, 2^8 had the name Zenzizenzizenzic, the word with the most Z’s in the English language, which means “square of squares squaredly”.

Three ideas I cannot imagine doing math without: * Placeholder notation * Zero * Scientific notation * Powers Notation
