Steinhaus-Moser Notation


A notation for large numbers defined by Steinhaus (1983, pp. 28-29). In this notation, ntri denotes n^n, nbox denotes "n in n triangles," and ncirc denotes "n in n squares." A modified version due to Moser eliminates the circle notation, continuing instead with polygons of ever increasing size, so n in a pentagon is n with n squares around it, etc.
