This branch of mathematics I found recently is about tetration, super roots, and super logs. To bad we can't call it super power because that's already a term for something else lol. You just raise the exponent by the about of times by itself (minus 1 time). For the fifth hyper term, I think mathematicians need a new term instead of just using superscript numbers. I think with huge numbers is really not every lifestyle type of thing but more of a universal thing. Scientists use the scientific format to represent huge or small numbers so what is this mathematics useful for? By the way, we'll also need a name for this special system because there may be numbers that cannot equal tetriated terms. Like a real number multiplied by itself cannot be a negative number, there has to be more to understand of this.
What If I had this function:
f(x) = (5^5)?(5^2)/(5*2)-(5+2)
The ? is the unknown operator which is a level above division. Does it exist?
If we say that n^2/n = n and 2n-n = n then (n^n)?n = n.
Any input?

The function you described is simply a root.
There are also systems already in place for describing large numbers. Look up things like Knuth's up arrow notation (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knuth%27s_up_arrow_notation) and Conway chained arrow notation (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conway_chained_arrow_notation).
