minus-squareUmbrias ( Umbrias@beehaw.org ) linkfedilinkarrow-up1·3 years agoIncorrect, pemdas puts multiplication before division.
minus-squareKalash ( theKalash@feddit.ch ) linkfedilinkarrow-up3·3 years ago Incorrect, pemdas puts multiplication before division. Only in the literaly order of the words. It stands for “Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication/Division, Addition/Subtraction” Notice the “/” between multiplication and division instead of a comma? That means these have the same priority.
minus-squareUmbrias ( Umbrias@beehaw.org ) linkfedilinkarrow-up1·3 years agoWell there’s the problem. I maintain this to be a mistake.
minus-squareKalash ( theKalash@feddit.ch ) linkfedilinkarrow-up2·3 years agoOk. You could also maintain that 1 + 1 equals 3 if you wish. Either way you are simply wrong.
minus-squareUmbrias ( Umbrias@beehaw.org ) linkfedilinkarrow-up1·3 years agoI don’t think you understand my position if that’s your takeaway.
minus-squareKalash ( theKalash@feddit.ch ) linkfedilinkarrow-up2·3 years agoYour position is that you disagree with established maths. So you’re kind of a maths-flatearther with your own theories, I get it. But for most people that just summarizes to “being wrong”.
minus-squareUmbrias ( Umbrias@beehaw.org ) linkfedilinkarrow-up1·3 years agoHuh? I disagree with the convention, not the underlying math. Pemdas is a design choice lol.
