minus-squarenLuLukna @sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up0·edit-21 year agoYeah but the way you derive the order of operations is way above the average maths student. I say that, but its not really that complicated to derive, since you think in terms of the expansion of the naturals to the reals My brain is fucking dumb
minus-squareDrRatso@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·1 year agoIm sorry, what? The order of operations is completely arbitrary, it just also happens to be the standart. Not having PEMDAS would simply mean we have to write equations differently. PEMDAS et al only exist to avoid ambiguity as in this image.
