Hyper operators or hyperoperations are extensions to the standard binary operators addition, multiplication, and exponentiation, as well as the unary successor function. Multiplication is repeated addition, and exponentiation is repeated multiplication, so it is natural to extend them further — repeated exponentiation is called "tetration," for instance. When used on the positive integers, each hyper operator grows much faster than the previous one; since the numbers generated become very large, hyper operators are considered to be googological. Hyper operators were first invented by Goodstein in 1947.
