System for writing large numbers

Some time ago I came across a description of a numbering system for some very large numbers (mind boggling, in fact) that involved numbers written within triangles, squares, and circles. I know it was a shorthand for some exponential calculation, but can't remember exactly what it was, and I can't find the reference - it was in a random book in my local library. Any help? Thanks in advance.
