    If they wanted the multiplication done first they should have put it first if they wanted it done separately they should have put it in brackets. Not my fault some maths guy invented a specific order to do sums in who the fuck cares oh my god we read left to right fucking hell

        Yeah but the way you derive the order of operations is way above the average maths student.

        I say that, but its not really that complicated to derive, since you think in terms of the expansion of the naturals to the reals

        My brain is fucking dumb

          If pemdas is above the average math student that’s fucked. I learned it in 5th grade.
