BOMDAS
- (mathematics, mnemonic) An acronym for arithmetic order of operations, with B first and AS last: Brackets, then order or 'of' in some curricula, then multiplication and division, then addition and 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.
