An explanation of the Triangle of Power, an alternative mathematical notation that unifies exponents, logarithms, and roots into a single triangular symbol.
Alternate notation for powers, logs, and roots. Help fund future projects: patreon.com/3blue1brown An equally valuable form of support is to simply share some of the videos. (This is the corrected version of the one I put out a month or so ago, in which my animation for all the inverse operations was incorrect) Here's a sketch from the math redditer Cosmologicon showing how this might be usual with practical space considerations: i.imgur.com/hAeJokq.jpg This original comes from an answer to a math exchange post by Alex Jordan, which you can find here: math.stackexchange.com/questions/30046/alternative-notation-… I also briefly flashed a blog post with another interesting alternative for logarithm notation: solidangl.es/2015/04/a-radical-new-look-for-logarithms.htmlWhat people say. Recommended as a compelling proposal for a more intuitive and unified mathematical notation for exponents and logarithms.
