All you have to do is answer the following question [b][i]without using the Internet[/i][/b], and leave your results on the poll above.
So here's the question:
P E _ M D A S
Which letter is missing from the Order of Mathematical Operations, and which Mathematical Operation does it represent?
Good luck!
Edit: Fine. Since the majority of you don't get it, here's the answer:
[spoiler]The missing Operation is the Logarithm, which is the inverse to the Exponent. The log button you see on your calculators? That's the common log, or log base 10. Whereas with Exponents, when you raise a base to a power to find a result, you take log base (insert base number) of a number to find out the power the base is raised to to get your result.[/spoiler]

Edited by Tartan 118: 12/7/2016 3:56:24 PMSee, I was taught BoDMAS. Brackets pOwers Division etc. So I don't know why Americans switch division and multiplication. Nor why they call brackets 'parentheses' or powers 'exponents'. Struggling to be different, I suppose.

Just graduated highschool, wanted to clear something up for you. PEMDAS (American version) BODMAS (English version) Are acronyms for teaching gradeschoolers problem solving techniques and the correct order of operations. You would be correct to include logarithms in this but that isn't covered in any maths classes they reach certain parts at algebra and onwards. By then the acronym means nothing and its no longer part of the process. Sorry but the correct forms will always be BODMAS or PEMDAS.

I don't know the answer because I live in Mexico.
-
I remember PEMDAS, but i also remember that my teachers said some problems required you to use it backwards.
-
I don't know the answer because I live in Croatia and schools don't teach stuff in English.
-
So how old are you
-
I don't remember high school math :(
-
PEMDAS for life, this pelmdas sounds like some sort of communist trickery
-
Logarithms? Whaaaaaaaaaaaat [spoiler]That's 10th grade stuff though. I learned PEMDAS in 4th or 5th.[/spoiler]
-
I've literally never heard PELMDAS
-
People are taught different than others so this maybe wasn't the best question to ask. Just saying.
-
There is a unneeded underscore that's it
-
It's just PEMDAS
-
It's BODMAS not whatever that shit is
-
Would the missing let be B?
-
It's PEMDAS. I've never seen anything other than that. I guess you could say that logs are included in the exponents category, but it's never been PELMDAS.

Nothing is missing also this doesn't work I learned it in like fifth grade

Nothing is missing, it's always been PEMDAS.
