I am trying to find out any information concerning the development of the order of operations. for example, when (why/how) did it become the case that 2 + 3 x 5 =17, rather than 25.
any insight is appreciated. Thank you.

From Brian:
It has to do with the 4 rules of operations, Parentheses first before operations outside/evaluate all exponential expressions/all multiplication and divisions/then all additions and subtractions. Who made these rules and when did they make them,,, I know its somewhat of an unorthadox question but I must know. I would really appreciate it. Answered by Penny Nom. |

From Stefanie: I do remember the rules of BEDMAS, but for some reason this question puzzles me. 6 X 9 - 3 + 44 I started with the Multiplication 54 - 3 + 44 But then I got stuck, do I proceed with adding the 44 and subtracting the 3 or figure out what -3 + 44 is, but then how would that work with 54?
