Was anyone else ever taught it as BOMDAS as opposed to BODMAS?
PEMDAS, is that the same as BOMDAS?
BOMDAS deez nuts or something
Why do people put bot pairs of multiplication and division, and addition and subtraction on the acronym?
Do you really follow that order with the associative operations?
do you think i know what an associative operation is?
I think so. Amazing how many different ways there are to say it
So instead of Parentheses, Exponents is it Box and O that digit in the sky?
Brackets and Orders, not that anybody calls "(" a bracket or "^" an "order".
There's no difference.
Addition and subtraction are the same operation, multiplication and division are the same operation.
So:
BO(MD)(AS) == BO(DM)(AS)
EDIT: in order to stop confusing people, it should just be: BOMA.
It was BEDMAS for us, where the E was exponents or something.
Found the Canadian
I was taught only Brackets Division Subtraction Multiplication at the local dungeon.
(I still have the student loans to prove it.)
Yeah, I was taught BOMDAS here in Australia.
I was taught BODMAS in Australia
Its BODMAS for maths and BOMDAS for twerking.
Easy mistake to make given the amount of maths involved in dancing.
