Key Concepts

Order of Operations

This principle, often remembered by the acronym PEMDAS or BODMAS, establishes the sequence in which different mathematical operations should be performed to ensure that everyone evaluates an expression consistently. It specifies that operations like multiplication and division are performed before addition and subtraction unless indicated otherwise by parentheses.

Arithmetic Operations

These are the fundamental operations of mathematics, including addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. Understanding how each operation works and how they interact under the order of operations is essential for simplifying expressions correctly.
