Tetration

Tetration is an advanced mathematical operation that involves iterated exponentiation. It is written as a^\[n\], where a is the base and n is the height of the tetration. For example, with base 2 and height 3, it is 2^(2^2), which equals 16. Essentially, it builds a power tower, stacking exponents repeatedly. Unlike regular addition or multiplication, tetration grows incredibly fast, far surpassing exponentiation. It’s primarily used in theoretical mathematics and computer science to explore enormous numbers and the limits of computation.
