  • Not, according to you

    Which part of “every single post” do you have trouble comprehending? Honestly dude, need to go back to school and learn to read 🙄

    You underlined some crap in the manuals that doesn’t mean what you said it meant

    = doesn’t mean equals??? BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

    Why’d you bring up your calculator if you don’t actually want to talk about it?

    Which part of you’ve been proven wrong so there’s nothing further to discuss didn’t you understand? 🙄 See above about learning to read

    Are not necessary to evaluate such expressions.

    says person contradicting the manual which says you cannot do it 🤣🤣🤣🤣

    but sure, go ahead and tell us how you can do a simple calculation that has multiple brackets, but without brackets, and without splitting it up, I’ll wait 🤣🤣🤣

    You can use a calculator that uses RPN.

    Yes, a calculator where the brackets are built-in, unlike this calculator 🙄

    but was not available on mass market models because… it requires

    Brackets

    Now do you get why pocket calculators had no stack?

    says person ignoring that we’ve already established that they did have a stack. Dude, you’re just going in circles.

    you have no explanation for why the calculator could not perform the expression without splitting it, since bracket keys are not necessary to do so

    says person who has yet to show how it can be done without brackets, since it can’t be done without brackets. 🙄 a(b+c)+d(e+f) is the example from the manual - go ahead and tell us how you can do it without brackets and without splitting it up.

    exists in the use of the += button - is never discussed in the manual.

    BWAHAHAHAHAHAAH! (deep breath) HAHAHAHAA! It’s right there in the examples! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

    you just made it up

    says person making up that the lack of brackets keys is somehow not the reason you can’t do expressions with multiple brackets in them, even though they can’t come up with a way to do so 🤣🤣🤣

    you’ve been called out on

    nothing. You still haven’t come up with a way to do an expression with multiple brackets on a calculator that has no brackets. How can I do a(b+c)+d(e+f) on a calculator with no brackets, and GO! 🤣🤣🤣

    You could get out of all this by just admitting that the Sinclair Executive had no stack and operates from left to right.

    the proof is right there in the example that it doesn’t 🙄 A fact which you still haven’t admitted to

    Sure there is.

    says person unable to produce any Maths textbook that it’s in, because there isn’t any such thing

    What you mean is, you prefer not to use the term “implicit multiplication”

    No, I mean there is literally no such thing, hence why it’s not in any Maths textbooks

    if you google the term, you can find the definition

    If you Google unicorns and fairies you can find them as well, but you won’t find them in any Science textbooks either.

    like a mathematician

    exactly what I did, unless you think there are Mathematicians who would entertain discussion about fairies being real beyond “there’s no such thing”?

    In your imaginary classroom you can make your poor students use whatever terminology you like

    We don’t use terminology with things we don’t teach them. Do you think some teachers teach their students about unicorns and fairies being real?

    I, and the rest of the internet, can use the terminology we agree upon.

    Yes, delusional people can agree upon their delusions, no disagreement from me there! 🤣🤣🤣

    Read to the end of the comment before shooting off your comment, and you wouldn’t be such an embarrassment.

    No embarrassment from me - I’ve proven everything in the comment wrong.

    • they don’t emulate scientific calculators

    • they don’t emulate basic four-function calculators

    In both cases they just give wrong answers

    I have never used Microsoft Maths Solver but it bears no resemblance to a calculator so I don’t care

    I’ll take that as an admission of being wrong - all software calculators (MathSolver wasn’t the only one I discussed, which you would’ve known had you bothered reading it), somehow bear no resemblance to actual calculators, got it. Been telling you that all along BTW 🤣🤣🤣

    You still haven’t come up with a good explanation

    which part didn’t you understand in different programmers work on different parts?

    And honestly, I think it’s disgusting that you never wash yourself.

    No idea what you’re talking about, must be another case of Projection.

    Do you not remember that there were two manuals?

    Which part did you not understand in the second one was a chain calculator? You’re going round in circles again

    Either way, you have no explanation

    I already explained dude. Saying I didn’t doesn’t magically make it disappear.

    Try and find one that gives an example of typing in a + b x c and getting a+bc. You can’t.

    Umm, the first one does, as I already pointed out 🤣🤣🤣 Guess what happens you you omit the circled keypress…

    if people have been using these (“niche!!!1”) calculators for decades

    Go ahead and see if you can find any engineers using them. I’ll wait

    The only reason you must do so is to pass high school maths

    and for planes to not fall out of the sky

    The goal of the game is for you to put the brackets in, OK?

    You know the order of operations rules predate use of Brackets in Maths by many centuries, right? How do you think they knew what to do, without brackets? I’ll wait 🤣🤣🤣

    You put the word “smart” in your name,

    says person proving how often they make wrong assumptions. 🤣🤣🤣🤣 You could’ve just asked me about it, but no, you literally never check facts first, just launch into provably wrong made up statements 🤣🤣🤣

    so I’m hoping you’re smart enough to work it out!

    Person it refers to agrees with me - who woulda thought?? 🤣🤣🤣



  • you said that something never happens

    happens - present tense

    which, in fact, has happened

    happened - past tense. Even you wrote that in different tenses 🤣🤣🤣 I’ll take that as another admission that you were wrong then

    I assume you’d really agree that I am never wrong - right?

    Every single post you make is wrong! You are continuously wrong all the time, and I’m guessing always have been wrong as well 🤣🤣🤣

    it’s strange you didn’t take up my offer to show this calculator of yours

    No it’s not. We’ve already settled that you claim was wrong and moved on, and I already said so at the time Mr. abysmal reading comprehension, and we know you hate long responses, so go back and read the short replies again 🤣🤣🤣

    “a problem such as (a+b)c + (d+e)f cannot be done as a simple calculation, it must be split into two parts.”

    that’s because it has no brackets keys dude. We’ve already been over it. You’re so wrong you’ve run out of arguments to make and you’re now trying to rehash other stuff

    There is no reason that it would need to be split if the calculator had

    brackets keys

    You have no explanation for why this calculator could not perform this calculation without splitting it.

    no brackets keys 🙄

    Now, you’ve done a silly with the software calculators there,

    says person deflecting from the fact that they’ve been proven wrong, again, and can’t man up and admit to having been wrong, again 🙄

    we’re talking about order of operations,

    which you were proven wrong about.

    not how calculators render implicit multiplication

    there’s no such thing as “implicit multiplication” is why we weren’t talking about it

    you really ought to keep these things straight in your mind

    says person trying to pretend they didn’t say “even though they (developers) can make scientific calculator modes work correctly!” - which I then proved wrong, so more deflection ensues

    which they don’t make them work correctly

    I’ll rephrase: you have no sane explanation for why scientific mode tends to obey a different order of operations than basic mode on software calculators

    I see you didn’t even try any of them (nor even read my thread about them). Had you done so, you would’ve discovered that ones such as the Microsoft Maths Solver sometimes does, sometimes doesn’t, so where in your “sane” explanation can you account for the same calculator only sometimes obeying the rules. Spoiler alert: different programmers with different ideas of what the order of operations rules are, as I have been saying all along - you’re wrong again dude. 🤣🤣🤣 yet again charging into easily proven wrong statements, rather than checking facts first

    I do, and it’s because they’re emulating basic, four-function calculators which had no stack

    which you were proven wrong about by the manual you posted. So we’re all done then. Don’t let the door hit you on the way out


  • about a page saying “other rules may have been adopted” suggests anything others than that different rules may have been adopted?

    says person revealing they haven’t read about the history behind that comment 🙄

    You know by know that no-one but you agrees with your interpretations.

    All the textbooks agree dude, which you would know if you had read more, but you’ve chosen to remain an ignorant gaslighter

    You can’t find a single explicit agreement with them

    With what?

    Reposting the same pages that you are misinterpreting is very silly, isn’t it

    says person who can’t post anything that agrees with their silly interpretation 🤣🤣🤣



  • Because every single textbook you’ve cited, I absolutely guarantee it… was written in the past!

    But being used in schools right now, and you’re desperately trying to twist my words around to mean something else because you can’t find any textbooks which say juxtaposition, except for one from 1912 🤣🤣🤣

    How shall we make sense of this conundrum?

    You’re the only one who has issues with understanding present and past tense dude, you’re the only one trying to use a 1912 textbook in the argument.

    “I never use drugs” doesn’t mean the same as “I am not using drugs at the moment”

    Yes it does, because “I never use drugs” isn’t the same as “I have never used drugs” 🙄

    So yeah, you absolutely said the wrong thing

    I absolutely didn’t Mr. I can only find it in a 1912 textbook 🤣🤣🤣

    your reason for using it is stupid.

    says person trying to bring a 1912 textbook into the argument only to avoid admitting having been wrong 🙄

    If you were any kind of reasonable person and not someone incapable of admitting the slightest mistake

    So not like you, which I’m not 😂

    you would have said, “oh, sorry, I meant that textbooks don’t use the word ‘juxtaposition’ any more”

    It’s already there in the use of the present tense

    Mate, try and keep track. We’re talking about a specific calculator and its specific manual.

    And it specifically says you are wrong 🙄

    Your calculator is not relevant to that one.

    So when you said all, you didn’t really mean all, so an admission that you were wrong about “all”. Got it. Thanks for playing. Glad we’re done with the “basic” calculator topic then

    “Says person lying” is your favourite

    statement of fact

    deflection

    says person talking about calculators that don’t have brackets because he’s absolutely proven wrong about The Distributive Law, and is trying to deflect away from admitting being wrong about that 🙄

    the calculators we all had in primary school, If you press the following sequence of buttons: 2 + 3 x 5 =, the answer it will give is

    17

    even though they can make scientific calculator modes work correctly!

    Nope! They don’t! With the exception of MathGPT, they all ignore The Distributive Law, you know, the actual original topic 🤣🤣🤣 The Windows calculator in Scientific mode says 8/2(1+3)=16, because, when you type it in, it changes it to 8/2x(1+3). It’s hilarious how you just keep making easily proven wrong statements and bring more embarrassment upon yourself, instead of just, you know, checking facts first 🤣🤣🤣

    Sharp calculator obeying The Distributive Law

    Note that neither MathGPT, nor the Sharp calculator, forcibly add in a multiply sign where it doesn’t belong. Welcome to dumb programmer who has forgotten how The Distributive Law works and didn’t bother checking in a Maths textbook first.

    yet there’s such a simple explanation! They’re emulating basic four-function calculators that have existed for decades

    No they’re not! Just like they’re also not emulating Scientific calculators that have existed for decades! 🤣🤣🤣



  • Do you see the contradiction between the following two statements

    Nope!

    Maths textbooks never use the word “juxtaposition”

    Use of the present tense, no reference to the past at all

    A textbook from1912

    before you or I was even born

    Need to work on your comprehension dude if you see a contradiction there

    Is a textbook from 1912 not a textbook?

    Does anything in what I said refer to textbooks in the past? That would be past tense, “have never used”. Need to work on your comprehension dude

    Does “never” mean something different where you’re from?

    Is there no difference between past tense and present tense where you are from?

    Your exact words were “Maths textbooks never use the word”.

    Yep, exact use of present tense there

    Do you stand by that statement now?

    Yep

    Do you want to admit it was incorrect?

    Nope

    This is actually even clearer than the lie

    Not a lie. Nothing I have ever said is a lie

    where you said you didn’t use different screenshots

    Never said that either liar. Noted lack of screenshots, or have you still not worked out how to do that yet?

    You get the same result if you don’t press the plus button at that point

    No you don’t! a+bxc and (a+b)xc aren’t the same thing! 🤣🤣🤣

    In what example in the manual

    Unlike you I have an actual calculator, no need to look in manuals for how they work. Other dude posted a link where you can buy one for under $10. Go ahead and get one, and let me know what answer it gives you to 2+3x4. I’ll wait 🤣🤣🤣

    There is no such example

    Hence I can confirm it on my own “non-scientific, non-graphing” calculator, unlike you who appears to not even own a calculator at all, and so is grasping at straws with online manuals 🤣🤣🤣

    The annotated screenshot you keep posting is an example of left-to-right evaluation

    No it isn’t! It’s an example of evaluating when you press the equals key 🤣🤣🤣 I knew you wouldn’t admit to being wrong. 🙄

    You’re just wrongly claiming that pressing the + button for the second time changes the behaviour of the manual

    Says person lying about the += button, which acts as a + button when followed by a number, and as an = button when followed by anything else. Note that pressing it turns a+b into (a+b) and not a+b+ 🙄

    You’re just wrongly claiming that pressing the + button for the second time changes the behaviour of the manual

    says person lying about how a += button works 🙄

    Your screenshot says that “calculations can usually be reconstructed as simple chains”

    Yep, therefore it is a chain calculator, Mr. needs to go to remedial reading classes

    You’re using that as evidence that the calculator is not a normal calculator

    can’t do that with a normal calculator, which you would know if you had one! 🤣🤣🤣

    It’s so interesting that you couldn’t find anything in the manual saying, “this is a special kind of calculator”

    says person lying about the screenshot saying you can use chains with it 🙄

    A mystery.

    It’s not a mystery why you ignore what’s in screenshots - can’t admit to being wrong about anything 🙄 Your latest adventure involves pretending that present tense means past tense

    Buddy, “chain calculators” as you call them are exactly the basic, four-function, stackless, cheapo calculators you can buy for three quid

    says person revealing his lack of knowledge about different types of calculators, and also that he is lacking 3 quid to buy one and try it first hand

    can’t admit that they’re normal,

    says person who doesn’t own a normal calculator, can’t admit they aren’t normal, because can’t admit to being wrong about anything 🙄

    I’m sure I have one lying around somewhere,

    I’m sure you don’t, or you wouldn’t be hunting around online manuals desperately looking for something to twist into agreeing with you

    Want to make a bet on what it’ll output?

    with a proven liar. Nope. I’m sure you would go out and buy a chain calculator, then claim it was a “normal” calculator you just had lying around which you magically happened to find

    It’s weird that your pettiness goes as far as not taking the W when it’s handed to you, dude

    It’s weird that you’re pretending that you admitted to begin wrong about something when you didn’t. Wait a minute, no it isn’t. We’ve already established you’re a gaslighter who can’t admit to being wrong about anything 🙄



  • I was happy to read more

    so why didn’t you then? Why did you ask for more screenshots instead of just reading more?

    did so extensively

    So you did read more and so then continued to lie about what the book said. Got it.

    That was first clear when you were given conclusive evidence of calculators working other than how you said they did

    Nope! The first manual proved you were wrong about that, and you have still not admitted to being wrong about it. Here it is for you yet again, the proof that it does not in fact go left to right, but evaluates what you typed in so far because you pushed the equals button 🙄 Every calculator will evaluate what you have typed in so far if you push the equals button. And you have to do that with this calculator because it doesn’t have brackets keys, so you press the equals button to evaluate it before entering the rest

    you even agreed,

    Nope! I posted the same screenshot I just posted again right here, which you have ignored every single time I have posted it, and never admitted to being wrong about it

    yet (falsely) said “that’s a niche, chain calculator”

    Not false - it was right there in the manual! 😂

    instead of addressing how it can be that this calculator and many others

    NO other calculators work that way, as seen in the first manual you posted.

    don’t work how you think they should.

    They all work the same way except for chain calculators, a lie you have still not admitted to yet, despite being presented with the proof from the very manual you posted first

    It was made crystal clear when you said that “no textbook uses the term juxtaposition”

    Yep!

    when a textbook you were quoting from actually did use the term,

    A 1912 textbook 🙄

    “oh, sorry, I meant ‘no recent textbook’”

    Did I say no textbook ever has used juxtaposition. No, I did not. So now you are just twisting words to try and make them match your own narrative. Sorry if you thought Maths teachers go back and read every textbook ever written over the centuries, even though many of them are now outdated. No idea why you would think that anyone does that.

    You did explicitly claim, that all basic calculators evaluate left to right, which was already proven false by the very first manual you posted(!) 🤣 and you still haven’t admitted you were wrong. There’s no ambiguity, you explicitly said all of them.

    ‘no recent textbook’” you denied and deflected

    Nope, liar. I pointed out then, as I have just now, again, that it’s a 1912 textbook. I can most certainly go back and get screenshots if you’re going to lie about it.

    you cannot. admit. a. mistake

    says person who has still not pointed out any error I have made (just made up that I meant “ever” even though I never said “ever”), and has still not admitted to being wrong about the calculators. Just ignores it every single time I bring it up because in fact it is you who cannot admit to being wrong about anything

    admit that when you wrote that no textbook uses the term juxtaposition you were actually wrong

    I wasn’t wrong. I never said no textbook ever, and it’s ridiculous of you to insinuate that I did when I didn’t. Most sane people know that textbooks that are more than 100 years old (which it is) are out of date - the definition of Division had only recently changed for starters. meanwhile you, who did explicitly use the word all when talking about "non-scientific, non-graphing* calculators, hasn’t admitted to being wrong about that, despite being disproven by the very first manual you posted 🤣🤣🤣

    It’ll feel good, I promise

    Nope, lying never feels good

    You have to click the preview, genius.

    says someone who doesn’t know how to post screenshots

    Ok, has to scroll past ads to find it 🙄

    Yep, no admission of being wrong about anything in there, so thanks for providing the proof that you never admitted to being wrong about anything 🤣🤣🤣

    Let me know if you want any online tutoring about how to take and post screenshots. It’s not hard when you have facts to back you up.


  • All mathematical proofs can be written in that form, otherwise they are not proofs

    says person confirming he doesn’t know much about Mathematical proofs 🙄

    All kinds of proof are merely special cases of the general kind I told you about

    No they’re not, and you even admitted at the time that it had limitations 🙄

    You didn’t know this?? Yeesh

    Yes, I knew you only knew about one kind of proof, hence why I told you to go back to high school and re-learn all the other types that we teach to students


  • I’ve given you the definition of a proof before

    You gave the defintion of one kind of proof. I’ll take that as an admission then that you can’t fault any of my proofs, since you can’t point out anything wrong with any of them, only that they don’t use the only proof method you know of, having forgotten the other proof methods that were taught to you in high school 🤣🤣🤣

    if you can’t work out why what you wrote doesn’t match

    I already know why it doesn’t match, that doesn’t make it not a proof, DUUUUHHH!!! 🤣🤣🤣 You need to go back to high school and learn about the other methods of proof that we use. You only seem to know the one you use in your little bubble.

    you just can’t do maths.

    Says person who only knows of ONE way to prove anything in Maths! BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! 🤣🤣🤣

    Taken as an admission that I have indeed proved my points then, as I already knew was the case.

    That’s ok, as Barbie taught us “math is hard!”

    Is THAT why you only know ONE method of proof - you learnt from Barbie??? 🤣🤣🤣


  • Dude, I don’t care that you asked me to read more

    I’ll take that as an admission of being bad faith the whole time then, exactly as I said.

    If you send a screenshot that doesn’t contain a word and then can’t admit that this is true

    says person who was sent a screenshot of how their claim about the calculator order of operations is wrong and can’t admit it 🙄

    then can’t admit that this is true

    You need remedial reading classes as well dude.

    can’t about that you denied all of this wrongly

    That’s quite a word salad. You wanna try that again and make sense this time?

    we’re not at a point where me reading more is in my interests

    Yet again admitting you were bad faith the whole time 🙄

    it will not get us to a point where we can have a discussion on even terms.

    and it never will since you keep refusing to read anything. You expect me to paste the whole textbook into here??? 🙄 Dude, you are the worst bad faith person I have ever come across.

    show me that it’s worth it,

    Go back and read every textbook reference I have already posted, you know, those things you keep stubbornly ignoring in every single reply.

    If you want a discussion

    I don’t care. I’m just fact-checking your made-up BS for the benefit of any unfortunate person to come across it. If you had wanted a discussion, then you would have discussed it with me, something which you have so far refused to do.

    that there is a chance that I could convince you of even the smallest thing

    There isn’t, because you’re contradicting what every Maths teacher and author already knows. 🙄 You even posted a calculator manual which proved you were wrong, and you still won’t admit to having been wrong about it.

    admit that you made an error

    says person who still can’t point out a single error that I have made ever 🙄

    talk about what you actually want to talk about

    I already posted all the proof, you just keep ignoring it. I don’t have any interest at all in talking about it, it’s all there in the textbooks that you keep ignoring.

    I am capable of admitting a mistake, sorry but I already did so at the bottom of this comment:

    Umm, what??? I don’t see any admission of anything. Why is it that none of you gaslighters know how to take screenshots of anything?

    I am capable of admitting a mistake, sorry but I already did so at the bottom of this comment:

    BTW given your admission of not reading my reply to that one, you were quoting a 1912 textbook, not, you know, a 1965 or later textbook 🙄



  • That’s some awful impressive goalpost shifting

    BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Says person refusing to acknowledge that it’s in textbooks the difference between conventions and rules 🤣🤣🤣

    Gold medal mental gymnastics winner

    Yep, I know you are. That’s why you had to post known to be wrong blogs, because you couldn’t find any textbooks that agree with you 🤣🤣🤣

    And here you are, still unable to explain why prefix and postfix notation don’t have an operator precedence.

    Speaking of goalpost shifting - what happened to they don’t have rules?? THAT was your point before, and now you have moved the goalposts when I pointed out that the blog was wrong 🤣🤣🤣

    I’m still waiting

    says person who has still not posted any textbook at all with anything at all that agrees with them, to someone who has posted multiple textbooks that prove you are wrong, and now you are deflecting 🤣🤣🤣🤣

    They literally don’t

    they literally *do., That’s why the rules get mentioned once at the start of the blog - it’s the same rules duuuhhh!!! 🤣🤣🤣

    I defy you to show me a single source that tells you that prefix or postfix notation use PEDMAS.

    PEMDAS isn’t the rules, it’s a convention

    I’ll even take Quora answers

    I won’t take anything but textbooks, and you’ve still come up with none

    I’ll even take a reputable source talking about prefix/postfix that doesnt bring up how order of operations isn’t required for those notations.

    That’s exactly what the blog you posted does. I knew you hadn’t read it! BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! 🤣🤣🤣 I’ll take that as an admission of being wrong then

    No, you’ve show a screenshot from a random PDF

    of a Maths textbook, with the name of the textbook in the top left, and the page number also in the top left. 🤣🤣🤣

    Infix notation needs extra information to make the order of evaluation of the operators clear:

    rules built into the language about operator precedence and associativity

    Yep, says nothing about operator precedence being tied to the notation, exactly as I just said, so that’s a fail from you then

    But then you go on to say something to the effect of “anyone who knows the rules can the extra information”

    derive the rules is what I said liar. The only thing you need to know is the definition of the operators, everything else follows logically from there.

    Which is both unsubstantiated given the long history of not having PEDMAS

    The order of operations rules are way older than PEMDAS. It even says it in one of the blogs you posted that PEMDAS is quite recent, again showing you didn’t actually read any of it. 🙄

    No, you’ve show a screenshot from a random PDF

    Nothing random about it. The name of the textbook is in the top left. Go ahead and search for it and let me know what you find. I’ll wait 🤣🤣🤣

    What math textbook and what edition is it?

    So, you’re telling me you don’t know how to look at the name of the PDF and search for it?? 🤣🤣🤣 I can tell you now it’s the #1 hit on Google

    The fact you think that factorization has to do with order of operations is shocking

    says person revealing they don’t know anything about order of operations 🤣🤣🤣 Make sure you let all the textbook authors know as well 🤣🤣🤣

    Yes the multiplication is done first

    No, Brackets are done first.

    The law is about converting between a sum of a common product and a product of sums

    Nope. That’s the Distributive Property, and yes indeed, the Property has nothing to do with order of operations, but the Distributive Law has everything to do with order of operations.

    No matter how you write them, it will always be about those things,

    The Property will, the Law isn’t

    so the multiplication always happens first.

    No, Brackets are always done first

    It’s crazy that you’re not able to distinguish between mathematical concepts and the notation we use to describe them

    says person who doesn’t even know the difference between a Property and a Law, and, as far as I can tell, have never even heard of The Distributive Law, given they keep talking about the Property

    But putting that aside, that’s not a proof of PEDMAS.

    Right, it’s a proof of the order of operations rules for Brackets 🙄

    If PEDMAS is an actual law

    It isn’t, it’s a convention

    There are proofs for 1+1

    It’s true by definition. There’s nothing complex about it. Just like ab=(axb) is true by definition

    if PEDMAS is a law

    It isn’t, it’s a convention. Not sure how many times you need to be told that 🙄

    or an textbook snippet

    You mean like textbook snippets stating that The Distributive Law is the reverse operation to Factorising?? See above 🤣🤣🤣


  • What I said was

    After I had repeatedly said read more, but you refused to, Mr. I’m only pretending to be good faith, so welcome to the embarrassment you suffered from not doing what I said 🙄

    Then you replied with different screenshots

    From the same page, the page you refused to read 🙄 Again, welcome to an embarrassment of your own making. That’ll teach you that actual good faith people will read more 🙄

    When I pointed that out, you said “no”

    …same page, a point you are still stubbornly refusing to acknowledge. Just look at the fact that you left it out of what you were quoting! 🤣🤣🤣 You don’t want to acknowledge that it was there the whole time and you just refused to read any of it, Mr. “Good faith” 🤣🤣🤣

    You’re referring to other ways in which you’re wrong

    Nope, you, that’s why you are still refusing to reply to them, pretend like you never saw the proof that you were wrong 🤣🤣🤣 Go ahead, reply to them, tell me where I’m supposedly wrong, according to you. I’ll wait, ready with textbooks to prove you wrong, again 🤣🤣🤣

    You could admit you used different screenshots

    says Mr. Poor comprehension, as I already pointed out, but you are also not replying to that to also not admit anything of your own fault 🤣🤣🤣

    you could admit that saying “no, same page”

    And you could admit to how many times I told you to read more, but you stubbornly refused, hence the current embarrassment you find yourself in. I shouldn’t have needed to even post any more screenshots at all, Mr. “Good faith” 🤣🤣🤣 But here we are Mr. bad faith

    you could admit that, indeed, the word “multiplication” never appeared in those first screenshots

    And you could admit that you never read anything at all from the textbook, and were just belligerently making up arguments based on what you saw in the screenshots, Mr. bad faith. Welcome to what happens when you refuse to engage in good faith arguments.

    Go on, cough up literally one thing

    Let’s start with you were wrong about the first calculator evaluating left to right

    I did it already, as a show of good will, you can do it too!

    No you haven’t! You haven’t admitted to anything





  • Our friend doesn’t know what a mathematical proof is,

    says person who doesn’t know enough about Maths to prove the order of operations rules, which literally anyone can do for themselves if they know all the operator and grouping symbols definitions 🤣🤣🤣

    will instead try to give you an example in which he posits a real-world calculation, writes down an arithmetic expression for it according to one convention, interprets it with another, gets a different answer, and tells you this is “proof” that it’s wrong

    I have no idea who you’re talking about, but it ain’t me! 😂

    writes down an arithmetic expression for it according to

    the definitions of the operators 🙄

    When I explained to him

    was precisely nothing

    how you could write down the expression according to a different convention, then interpret it with the same convention and get the same answer, he just denied, denied, denied

    What you mean is I actually proved you wrong about “different conventions” (noted you still don’t know the difference between conventions and rules), but you’re pretending it never happened 🙄


  • A claim entirely unsupported by the textbook example you provided

    says person who pointed out to begin with it was talking about conventions. BWAHAHAHAHAHA! I even underlined it for you. Ok, then, tell me which convention exactly they are talking about if it isn’t left to right 😂

    Nowhere does it say that one is a convention

    It quite clearly states that left to right is a convention 🙄

    but not the other

    “the other” wasn’t even the subject at hand. 🙄 Here you go then…

    it only says that removing brackets changes the meaning in some situations, which is fully within the scope of a convention

    But not within the scope of rules 🙄

    There you go again, just admitting you don’t know what postfix and prefix notations are.

    There you go again not being able to say what the RULES for them are! 🤣🤣🤣 I admitted nothing of the kind by the way. I already told you 3 times they obey the same rules 🙄

    here is a great free article from Colorado State university

    It’s pretty rubbish actually - finding a blog post by someone as ill-informed as you doesn’t make it “great”. Note that I always cite Maths textbooks and thus have no need to ever quote blog posts? 😂

    Note how it says the rules about operator precedence are for the notation

    Because (sigh) the same rules apply to all notations 🙄

    which itself is a convention, as all notations are

    Yep, and are separate to the rules, which are the same for all notations

    Note how it says the rules about operator precedence are for the notation

    Nope. Doesn’t say that anywhere. Go ahead and screenshot the part which you think says that. I’ll wait

    how prefix and postfix don’t need those rules

    Doesn’t say that either. 🙄 Again, provide a screenshot of where you think it says that

    BTW this is completely wrong…

    “Infix notation needs extra information to make the order of evaluation of the operators clear” - Anyone who knows the definitions of the operators and grouping symbols is able to derive the rules for themselves, no need for any “extra information” 🙄

    “For example, the usual rules for associativity say that we perform operations from left to right” - The thing we just established is a convention, not rules 🙄

    “so the multiplication by A is assumed to come before the division by D” - Which we’ve already established can be done in any order 🙄

    How embarrassing for you

    No, you actually. You know, the person who can’t find a single textbook that agrees with them 😂

    Here are some more materials

    NONE of which were Maths textbooks, NOR Maths teachers 😂

    A post by Berkley university about popular ambiguous equations

    None of which are actually ambiguous. He should’ve looked in a Maths textbook before writing it 😂

    “the 48/2(9+3) question” - 48/2(9+3)=48/(2x9+2x3), per The Distributive Law, as found in Maths textbooks 😂

    A published paper from Berkley that has been cited, with much stronger language on the matter

    Did you even read it?? Dude doesn’t even know the definition of Terms, ab=(axb) 🤣🤣🤣

    Here is an article from the university of Melbourne

    “Without an agreed upon order” - Ummm, we have proven rules, which literally anyone can prove to themselves 😂

    Article from the university of utah

    “There is no mathematical reason for the convention” - There are reasons for all the conventions - talk about admitting right at the start that you don’t know much about Maths 🙄

    A howstuffworks article on order of operations that explains it

    It only explains the mnemonics actually, not why the rules are what they are. 🙄

    Did you read it?? 🤣🤣🤣

    “The order of operations — as Americans know it today — was probably formalized in either the late 18th century” - Nope! Way older than that 🙄

    doesn’t have the pedigree of a university, but still clearly explained

    It actually did a better job than all of the university blogs you posted! 🤣🤣🤣

    Plus dozens of Quora answers, articles from online academies and learning centers, that I figured you’d just dismiss.

    Because not Maths textbooks, duuuuhhhh 🤣🤣🤣

    But to top it all off, if this was truely a law of mathematics

    Which it is as per Maths textbooks 🤣🤣🤣

    then show me a proof, theorem, or even a mathematical conjecture, about order of operations.

    The proof is it’s the reverse operation to Factorising, thus must be done first 🙄

    But since you hate Maths textbooks, go ahead and search for “reverse operation of distributive law” and let me know what you find. I’ll wait 🤣🤣🤣


  • you said “no, same page”

    Yes, me, the person who urged you repeatedly to read more so that you could’ve avoided this whole embarrassment to begin with, and thus gave you yet another chance to read what it said, but you were too stubborn, and so here we are, you being embarrassed because you refused to read one page of a textbook 🙄

    you couldn’t even do that

    says person who has admitted to nothing ever. 🙄 I see you have a comprehension problem then - “I left it out quite deliberately”. Not sure how you think it magically appeared in the same screenshot 😂

    I’m not trying to further explain why you’re wrong when

    you can’t, because I’m not 🙄

    you are so stubborn that you can’t admit that I was right

    says person who is too stubborn to admit that I was right about…

    • “Multiplication”
    • the first calculator not evaluating left to right
    • everything else I’ve provided textbook screenshots of

    and also hasn’t been right about anything yet 😂

    I said that the word “multiplication” didn’t appear in a screenshot

    No you didn’t. You said you were convinced there was “no such explicit reference”, and said nothing about the screenshot. Should’ve read the textbook, like I kept telling you 🙄

    Thanks for demonstrating it even better than you had before!

    What you’ve demonstrated is…

    • not reading the textbook
    • thus making up stuff as a result of not having found out you were wrong, per the textbook
    • having poor comprehension skills
    • refuses to do anything asked, on the pretence of made-up excuses after the fact
    • won’t admit to being wrong about anything
    • changes what you claim to have said, to avoid admitting being wrong, even though it’s easy enough to scroll back and find that wasn’t what you said at all. 🙄 See screenshot 😂





  • The screenshot you started off with is a crop of the one you’re now talking about, so yes, different screenshots

    Same page. you having trouble finding page 23, or you didn’t even look for it? BTW I left it out quite deliberately and asked you what you would call it, and you didn’t answer, then claimed that “they” (the textbook authors I presume) “they are certainly not saying explicitly that ab is not a multiplication or that a multiplication is different from a product, are they”, and yes, they most certainly are saying that, which you would know if you had read the textbook. 🙄 You, the person who only read the underlined parts in screenshots, even though I repeatedly said to keep reading in order to avoid this embarrassment, then followed that up with “This level of reading comprehension is what got you here”. Yep, this level of reading comprehension - you not reading the textbook, only the underlined parts of screenshots - is indeed what got you here 🙄

    I’m curious - can you admit to that, even?

    Can you admit that you’re basing your whole argument on only reading what I underlined in screenshots and not, you know, actually reading the textbook? 🙄
