• Yeah, you clearly don’t even know what a convention is, and what are math conventions and math “rules” as you put it

    Says person who actually doesn’t know the difference, as per Maths textbooks

    You’re wrong

    oh no! you better start contacting all the textbook publishers and tell them that all Maths textbooks are wrong 😂

    even a 2 minute Google search would show you that and explain why

    Even a 2 minute Google search will bring up Maths textbooks which prove that Google is wrong 🙄

    I’m done being Google for you

    Maths teachers don’t use Google - that’s what Maths textbooks are for

    when you’re not willing to Google it yourself

    says person who was unwilling to use Google to find Maths textbooks 🙄

      Wikipedia

      In mathematics and computer programming, the order of operations is a collection of conventions about which arithmetic operations to perform first in order to evaluate a given mathematical expression

      What’s that? You don’t trust Wikipedia?
      Ok, you’ve yet to explain why notations like prefix and postfix dont need these “rules”.
      If they were rules of mathematics **itself** how could they only apply to certain notations?

      • Wikipedia

        isn’t a Maths textbook 🙄 far out, did you learn English from Wikipedia too? You sure seem to have trouble understanding the words Maths textbook

        You don’t trust Wikipedia?

        The site that you just quoted which is proven wrong by Maths textbooks, THAT Wikipedia?? 🤣🤣🤣

        you’ve yet to explain why notations like prefix and postfix dont need these “rules”.

        Umm, they do need the rules! 😂

        how could they only apply to certain notations?

        They don’t, they apply to all notations 🙄
