That’s PEMDAS…
Comment on I dunno
anamethatisnt@sopuli.xyz 7 hours agoI never ran into PEMDAS while growing up, in Sweden I’ve always been taught of it as the following order of operations:
- P
- E & Roots
- M & D
- 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. :)
