The real question here is BODMAS or PEMDAS?
POOTIS or PINGAS?
Up here in the canada, we did BEDMAS
Brackets, Exponents, Division/Multiplication, Addition/Subtraction
Exponents, Oxponents, I honestly could give less of a shit until now...
Also PIMDAS (we had this conversation in my class this semester as we had a very wide range of ages and regions present in the class) (I is for indices) (I don't remember what the Colombian students said, for some reason we had a group of 3 Colombians in our class of 12 nowhere near Colombia)
That said, the question is ambiguously written. Maybe the popularity of this will result in calculators being more consistent with how they interpret implicit multiplication signs.
(my preference is to show two lines, one with the numerator and one with the divisor)
PIMDAS? Isn't that the same as PEMDAS?
So's BOMDAS etc.? Just different words for things
Mutiplication or Division first then? Thus, BEDMAS or PEMDAS?
