Ackermann Function
The Ackermann function may be expressed using Conway chained arrow notation:
- A(m, n) = (2 → (n + 3) → (m − 2)) − 3 for m > 2
hence
- 2 → n → m = A(m + 2,n − 3) + 3 for n > 2
(n = 1 and n = 2 would correspond with A(m, −2) = −1 and A(m, −1) = 1, which could logically be added).

“Morality and its victim, the mother—what a terrible picture! Is there indeed anything more terrible, more criminal, than our glorified sacred function of motherhood?”
—Emma Goldman (1869–1940)
