  It’s interesting that you can somewhat tell where you are from based on this, I learned it as BODMAS

    I learned BODMAS too! It seems BIDMAS is another one (British I think), PEMDAS is the weird American one, BEDMAS is a thing too. You’re able to vary the first letter (parenthesis or brackets), second letter (indices/exponent/“order” or “operation”), and the order of multiplication/division (MS or SM) and addition/SUBTRACTION (AD or DA)

    Very interesting indeed.

      Orders.

      Brackets, Orders (powers and roots), Division, Multiplication, Addition, and Subtraction

        Division, Multiplication, Addition, and Subtraction

        This is fucking so many people over… It should be limited - like Orders - to only Multiplication and Addition.

        Because division is the same operation as multiplication, and subtraction is the same operation as addition, and they have the same “weight” in the order of operations (meaning, you do them left-to-right).

        I think most former British colonies use BODMAS

  I never ran into PEMDAS while growing up, in Sweden I’ve always been taught of it as the following order of operations:

  1. P
  2. E & Roots
  3. M & D
  4. A & S

    Technically roots are a form of exponent, just fractional (square root is power of 1/2, for instance). I can see how it could be easier to conceptualize when you break it down like that though. Neat to see the differences compared to the US breakdown :)

      Technically we go for 2. Powers & Roots, I just didn’t want to break the PEMDAS when comparing. :)
