The speaker explains the concept of exponentiation and arrow notation, where exponentiation takes a base number x and raises it to the nth power, and arrow notation takes x to the x to the x to the x to the x n times power.

Summary
The speaker explains the concept of exponentiation and arrow notation, where exponentiation takes a base number x and raises it to the nth power, and arrow notation takes x to the x to the x to the x to the x n times power. This can be expressed as xn where x is added together n times.
