    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. :)
