Yeah but the way you derive the order of operations is way above the average maths student.
I say that, but its not really that complicated to derive, since you think in terms of the expansion of the naturals to the reals
My brain is fucking dumb
Im sorry, what? The order of operations is completely arbitrary, it just also happens to be the standart. Not having PEMDAS would simply mean we have to write equations differently. PEMDAS et al only exist to avoid ambiguity as in this image.
Yeah looking at my comment with fresh eyes, I really failed to say anything true.
But I’m still going to say its not arbitary, since its super fucking convinent and it removes a lot of brackets.
Except math isn’t real and was entirely made up. Including the order in which the operations are calculated.
Math is our representation of real world phenomena. The universe is not calculating any computations when gravity takes effect. This is basic mathematical knowledge that they teach you when you first learn physics. So no, math is not real and is entirely made up.
