= Conway triangle notation
{wiki=Conway_triangle_notation}
Conway triangle notation is a method introduced by mathematician John Horton Conway for representing ordinal numbers, particularly transfinite ordinals, in a compact and structured way. This notation is an extension of his earlier work with \`surreal numbers\` and the \`Conway chained notation\` for ordinals. In Conway triangle notation, ordinals are represented within a triangular array, where each entry corresponds to a specific ordinal.
