[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] The key phrase is "a long time ago." In so far as a convention was established way back when as to how to read an expression it matters NOW what order. Convention and notation are important so everyone is on the same page. That's why its best if the educators who are writing math curricula follow the conventions already established. Try this doing the exponent first to see why: (3+2)^2[/quote] Yes, of course convention and notation are important. Nonetheless, the point is that order of operations is a convention.[/quote]
