We have all heard the term "Square it," as well as "Cube it." Beyond these terms, teachers, educators, and mathematicians all say "to the n power."

This is where "Quad" is born. 

My colleague, Nicholas Thurston and I, sit in an hour long algebra class everyday. Upon recent developments, the term "quad" began being used to describe "To the fourth power." This makes sense, seeing as 4 of something is a quad of it. Though our algebra teacher did not appreciate this term at first, we began examining certain details of the origins of words, principles, and key mathematical terms, and soon proved our point that "quad" is logical terminology

Quartic; adj.; "Of or relating to the fourth power"

The term "quad" acts as a short name for the term "quartic" 

EX: "2 quad" is 2^4 = 16... "The quad root of 16" is ⁴√16 = 2

Nicholas and I ask you to throw full support behind this term, and let's make a positive difference on the mathematical world. 

Thank you
