Comment on I dunno
KyuubiNoKitsune@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 weeks agoIt’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.
We need a super position of all of them.
Where are pemdas and bodmas users from?
Pemdas, USA. Bodmas, UK.
BEDMAS, Canada
I think most former British colonies use BODMAS
But the USA seems to use PEDMAS? I’m confused now…

Orders.
Brackets, Orders (powers and roots), 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).

Another commenter mentioned something similar, how they’re interchangeable, but I’m not sure why you say it’s fucking people over.
