    No, it should simply be “Parenthesis, exponents, multiplication, addition.”

    A division is defined as a multiplication, and a substraction is defined as an addition.

    I am so confused everytime I see people arguing about this, as this is basic real number arithmetics that every kid in my country learns at 12 yo, when moving on from the simplified version you learn in elementary school.

      You want PEMA with knowledge of what is defined, when people can’t even understand PEMDAS. You wish for too much.

        I’m just confused as to how that is not common knowledge. The country I speak of is France, and we’re not exactly known for our excellent maths education.
