Exponentiation seems to have some trouble with this statement: base^exponent = power. It says that the result of exponentiation is the power which is far from true. In fact, the exponent is the power and vice versa. The result of exponentiation has to be the product. Truth be told, this might confuse

This template is really big and bulky, especially on mobile. It seems that the "broad sense" and "strict sense" create much of the bulk I propose removing these as: 1. Anyone seeing the two equations "augend+addend" and "addend+addend" will realize that addend can be used multiple ways, and 2. It's a

Interestingly, this template shows “multiplicand × multiplier”, while I see the reverse (“multiplier × multiplicand”) elsewhere. I personally think this might be related to how you pronounce it. Considering the meanings of words, it is natural to say “multiplier times multiplicand”, but “multiplicand

While the terminology for the logarithm was also technically correct, it's like writing ‘sum’ for ‘minuend’ and vice versa. So I put in alternative terminology which I think is definitely more appropriate. There might be something better than ‘antilogarithm’, but I'm sure that ‘logarithm’ is the

Is there any reference to the naming convention? The word "power" in "base^exponent = power" puzzles me. Why is the result of an exponentiation called power? A rough search on google indicates that power is actually synonymous to exponent. I am sincerely troubled.
222:‘modulo’ isn't even a noun, so it can't be correct there; I used ‘remainder’. Arguably this operation should also use ‘modulus’ instead of ‘divisor’, but I'm uncertain, so I didn't change that. Both are correct; the question is which is better.

All of 3 these terms are correct names for the result of a division operation, and should be displayed here just as we display alternate terms (dividend -vs- numerator, divisor -vs- denominator) for the other side of the equation.

People normally pronounce “×” as “times” today, and people probably should also write only “multiplicand”. This avoids the problem :-).
