Conway chained arrow notation, created by mathematician John Horton Conway, is a means of expressing certain extremely large numbers.[1] It is simply a finite sequence of positive integers separated by rightward arrows, e.g. .
As with most combinatorial notations, the definition is recursive. In this case the notation eventually resolves to being the leftmost number raised to some (usually enormous) integer power.
