    it’s just about convention aka how to communicate math

    They’re rules actually.

    The author didn’t make themselves clear enough

    Yes they did, someone screwed up the answers, just like in this book…

    misunderstand what calculation they mean

    There’s only 1 possible answer to it.

      Sorry but there is no math government that can enforce rules, and the order of operations isn’t intrinsic either. It is just something people agreed upon volununtarily, aka a convention

        Maths textbooks do. Try looking in some

        the order of operations isn’t intrinsic either

        Yes they are! 😂

        It is just something people agreed upon volununtarily, aka a convention

        Nope. Literally proven rules

            Proofs are, and these things are very easy to prove 🙄

              You have a masters but you can’t differentiate between notation and the concept it is trying to convey

                By which you mean you mean you don’t have a Masters and can’t differentiate between notation and rules 🙄
