Abstract: We present the main features of the mathematical theory generated by the kappa-deformed exponential function exp_{kappa}(x)=(sqrt{1+kappa^2 x^2}+kappa x)^{1/kappa}, with 0<kappa<1, developed in the last twelve years, which turns out to be a continuous one parameter deformation of the ordinary mathematics generated by the Euler exponential function. The kappa-mathematics has its roots in special relativity and furnishes the theoretical foundations of the kappa-statistical mechanics predicting power law tailed statistical distributions which have been observed experimentally in many physical, natural and artificial systems. After introducing the kappa-algebra we present the associated kappa-differential and kappa-integral calculus. Then we obtain the corresponding kappa-exponential and kappa-logarithm functions and give the kappa-version of the main functions of the ordinary mathematics.
