Dric902 Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 (edited) Gettysburg 50th Anniversary (1913) In this powerful picture, veteran soldiers of the Union and Confederate armies in the Civil War reconciled and joined hands on the 50th anniversary of the Battle of Gettysburg. More than 50,000 former soldiers attended the event, where, as President Woodrow Wilson said in his address, “We have found one another again as brothers and comrades in arms, enemies no longer.” It’s too bad that some contemporary others would like to hold on to the sentiment...like a slogan .

C_Hallbert Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 Order of operations - multiplication and division before addition and subtraction. 5 + 1 x 10 is done as 1 x 10, then add the 5. The answer is 15. -PatI suggest that an order of operations would be imposed by brackets, otherwise execute the operations as they are sequenced (reading from left to right) consistent with our traditional English Language.

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk yes, that would make sense, but that would change the outcome of something like "5 x 2 + 3" and "3 + 5 x 2". one equals 13, the other 30, yet both mathematically should be identical. Math isn't designed to be written the same way as text is, where writing it down by hand would be pretty obvious on a lot of formulas what is meant, the limitations of single line text as it is typed makes a mess of many math problems.

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Well, you can suggest that, but the math world would disagree with you, as will their answers. I think they'll win that contest. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Order_of_operations The common acronym to remember the proper order taught when I was in school was PEMDAS - Parenthesis, Exponents, Multiplication & Division, Addition & Subtraction. -Pat 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tous Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 Earth was once invaded by aliens that resembled giant Teddy bears. All the world's children grabbed them and hugged the stuffing out of them. TBO was annoyed. He wanted to Tase a few before they surrendered and returned to their home world. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
