Okay so I put this in tags but I need to say this in a reblog. This is a perfectly sensible way to write this for any math class above, like, middle school math. I won't argue with the last two sentences but if you're going into anything even remotely STEM-related, pemdas is the most basic thing to know. And i understand plenty of people don't use it day-to-day but please don't say "no sensible person" because that's just not true.

wanna see exactly HOW bad tumblr is at math so tell me

#no sensible person would write it that way #like okay i'm a second year computer science major/math minor so i understand i have personal/knowledge-based biases with this #but that really rubbed me the wrong way #(also to me the original feels wayyyy more natural than the rewritten version)#but yeah. order of operations is very important to know so don't act like it's just some gotcha #it's like saying that english classes test basic reading comprehension at threat of failing a class. that's the point. it's that important.#<- that one is a very opinionated statement and i acknowledge that #edit: i've received word that op meant to put 8-5 instead of 8-3. doesnt really matter to this reblog but yeah
