The triangle of power notation (or simply triangle notation) is a novel approach to mathematical notation that attempts to unify the representation of exponents, logarithms, and radicals, thereby simplifying their conceptual understanding and application. This notation grew out of discussions within the mathematical community, notably in a Math Stack Exchange thread,[1] that questioned the inconsistent appearance of formulas expressing relationships between numbers.[2][3]
The triangle notation introduces a more integrated and visually coherent method to depict mathematical relationships:
![{\displaystyle {\sqrt[{y}]{z}}={\overset {y}{\bigtriangleup }}_{z}}](https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/media/math/render/svg/7781ed2fac91e26006d7cb8c025de12bed2d5598)
This notation embodies the triple relationship as an identity, allowing for deeper understanding and easier manipulation of mathematical concepts.
This notation has been championed by popular math educator 3Blue1Brown, who claims that it significantly improves understanding of mathematical fundamentals, especially exponents, logarithms, and radicals.[4]
