Abstract
Generalized numbers, arithmetic operators and derivative operators, grouped in four classes based on symmetry features, are introduced. Their building element is the pair of -logarithm/-exponential inverse functions. Some of the objects were previously described in the literature, while others are newly defined. Commutativity, associativity and distributivity, and also a pair of linear/nonlinear derivatives are observed within each class. Two entropic functionals emerge from the formalism, one of them is the nonadditive Tsallis entropy.
