    Yeah, you clearly don’t even know what a convention is, and what are math conventions and math “rules” as you put it.

    You’re wrong, and even a 2 minute Google search would show you that and explain why. I’m done being Google for you when you’re not willing to Google it yourself.

    • Yeah, you clearly don’t even know what a convention is, and what are math conventions and math “rules” as you put it

      Says person who actually doesn’t know the difference, as per Maths textbooks

      You’re wrong

      oh no! you better start contacting all the textbook publishers and tell them that all Maths textbooks are wrong 😂

      even a 2 minute Google search would show you that and explain why

      Even a 2 minute Google search will bring up Maths textbooks which prove that Google is wrong 🙄

      I’m done being Google for you

      Maths teachers don’t use Google - that’s what Maths textbooks are for

      when you’re not willing to Google it yourself

      says person who was unwilling to use Google to find Maths textbooks 🙄

        Wikipedia

        In mathematics and computer programming, the order of operations is a collection of conventions about which arithmetic operations to perform first in order to evaluate a given mathematical expression

        What’s that? You don’t trust Wikipedia?
        Ok, you’ve yet to explain why notations like prefix and postfix dont need these “rules”.
        If they were rules of mathematics **itself** how could they only apply to certain notations?

        • Wikipedia

          isn’t a Maths textbook 🙄 far out, did you learn English from Wikipedia too? You sure seem to have trouble understanding the words Maths textbook

          You don’t trust Wikipedia?

          The site that you just quoted which is proven wrong by Maths textbooks, THAT Wikipedia?? 🤣🤣🤣

          you’ve yet to explain why notations like prefix and postfix dont need these “rules”.

          Umm, they do need the rules! 😂

          how could they only apply to certain notations?

          They don’t, they apply to all notations 🙄

            They don’t, they apply to all notations

            I love how confident you are about something you clearly have no knowledge of.
            Adorable.

            Well, you made a good effort. At least if we’re judging by word count.

                To a “maths teacher”

                Yeah sure
                A “teacher” who doesn’t know that all lessons are simplifications that get corrected at a higher level, and confidentiality refers to children’s textbook as an infallible source of college level information.

                A “teacher” incapable of differentiating between rules of a convention and the laws of mathematics.

                A “teacher” incapable of looking up information on notations of their own specialization, and synthesizing it into coherent response.

                Uh huh, sounds totally legit

                • A “teacher” who doesn’t know that all lessons are simplifications that get corrected at a higher level,

                  As opposed to a Maths teacher who knows there are no corrections made at a higher level. Go ahead and look for a Maths textbook which includes one of these mysterious “corrections” that you refer to - I’ll wait 😂

                  refers to children’s textbook as an infallible source of college level information

                  A high school Maths textbook most certainly is an infallible source of “college level” information, given it contains the exact same rules 😂

                  A “teacher” incapable of differentiating between rules of a convention and the laws of mathematics

                  Well, that’s you! 😂 The one who quoted Wikipedia and not a Maths textbook 😂

                  A “teacher” incapable of looking up information on notations of their own specialization

                  You again 😂 Wikipedia isn’t a Maths textbook

                    Man, this whole post has been embarrassing for you. Oof.

                    I can’t help but notice youve once again failed to address prefix and postfix notations.
                    And that you’ve not actually made any argument other than “nuh uh”
                    Not to mention the other threads you’ve been in. Yikes.

                    We can all tell you’re not a maths teacher.
