A Notation for Large Numbers defined by Steinhaus (1983, pp. 28-29).  In this notation,
denotes 
, 
denotes ``
 in 
 Triangles,'' and
denotes ``
 in 
 Squares.'' A modified version due to Moser eliminates the
circle notation, continuing instead with Polygons of ever increasing size, so 
 in a Pentagon
is 
 with 
 Squares around it, etc.
