mathematics The exponent is the part of an expression indicating the power to which a term is raised, i.e. the x in a^x, whether x is an integer, some other number, or some elaborate expression itself. An exponential function involves one or more such terms, the members of a geometric series being simple examples.

The term exponential series is also used within mathematics to describe the series that converges on the special number e.

A number placed above and to the right of another number to show that it has been raised to a power. For example, 3² indicates that 3 has been raised to a power of 2, or multiplied by itself; 3² is equal to 9.
