Ordinal multiplication
I understand why $(omega+1)cdot2 = omegacdot2+1$ and why $(omega+1)cdotomega = omega^2$
What I am struggling with is something along the lines of:
$(omegacdot3+4)cdot3$ which I think is = $omegacdot9+4$
And:
$(omegacdot3+4)(omegacdot3)$ which I think is = $omega^2cdot9$
Am I correct?

(w.3 + 4).3 = (w.3 + 4) + (w.3 + 4) + (w.3 + 4) = w.3 + (4 + w.3) + (4 + w.3) + 4 = w.3 + w.3 + w.3 + 4 = w.9 + 4 ??

Your first evaluation is correct; however the second one is not valid.

Thank you. I was following this explanation for (w + 1).w^2 and trying to extrapolate, but I'm not sure where I've gone wrong. Can you clarify?

You have evaluated $(omegacdot 3+4)cdot 3$ correctly. However, $(omegacdot 3+4)cdot(omegacdot 3)$ is not correctly evaluated. I do not know which step of your evaluation is incorrect, but I guess you think adding $(omegacdot 3)$ $(omegacdot 3)$ times is $omega^2cdot 9$.
This is not true, however, as
$$(omegacdot 3)cdot (omegacdot 3) = omegacdot (3cdotomega)cdot 3 = omega^2cdot 3.$$
The core part of the evaluation is $3cdotomega=omega$ that can be proven in the way of proving $3+omega =omega$ (and the linked question in your comment.)
We would think evaluating $(omegacdot 3+4)cdot(omegacdot 3)$ is not too different from that of $(omegacdot 3)cdot (omegacdot 3)$. The problem is, we have extra $+4$ and we cannot apply the distribution law in the case.
However, the addition in the middle of the expression would disappear when adding $(omegacdot 3+4)$ many times, so we can guess the answer is $omega^2cdot 3$.
You can make our discussion concretely by following the steps of the proof you have linked; that is, use the transfinite induction for $betale omegacdot 3$ to prove
$$(omegacdot 3+4)cdotbeta = begin{cases}
omegacdot (3cdotbeta) &text{if $beta$ is a limit ordinal,} \ omegacdot (3cdotbeta) + 4 & text{if $beta$ is a successor ordinal.}end{cases}$$

(w.3 + 4).3 = (w.3 + 4) + (w.3 + 4) + (w.3 + 4) = w.3 + (4 + w.3) + (4 + w.3) + 4 = w.3 + w.3 + w.3 + 4 = w.9 + 4 ??

Your first evaluation is correct; however the second one is not valid.

Thank you. I was following this explanation for (w + 1).w^2 and trying to extrapolate, but I'm not sure where I've gone wrong. Can you clarify?
