[edit]BEDMAS
- (mathematics, mnemonic) An acronym for arithmetic order of precedence, with B first and AS last: Brackets, exponents, division, multiplication, addition, subtraction.
Usage notes
[edit]- This mnemonic leads many to the notion that multiplication is precedent to division, and addition to subtraction; however, these are within the pairs equal in precedence and resolved from left to right.
