In the mathematical field of set theory, ordinal arithmetic includes binary operations on ordinal numbers such as addition, multiplication, and exponentiation. Each can be defined in two different ways: either by constructing an explicit well-ordered set that represents the result of the operation or by using transfinite recursion.
