Exponentiation is a mathematical operation where a number (called the base) is multiplied by itself a certain number of times, determined by another number (called the exponent). It matters because it's a fundamental tool used throughout mathematics, science, and everyday applications like calculating compound interest, understanding population growth, and describing how quickly things can increase or decrease.

Eine Potenz (von lateinisch potentia ‚Vermögen, Macht‘) ist das Ergebnis des Potenzierens (der Exponentiation), das wie das Multiplizieren seinem Ursprung nach eine abkürzende Schreibweise für eine wiederholte mathematische Rechenoperation ist. Wie beim Multiplizieren ein Summand wiederholt addiert wird, so wird beim Potenzieren ein Faktor wiederholt multipliziert. Dabei heißt die Zahl, die zu multiplizieren ist, Basis. Wie oft diese Basis als Faktor auftritt, wird durch den Exponenten angegeben. Man schreibt
