It would certainly appear so.
Maybe it’s because I am a native english speaker but your reply is offensive and embarrassing to native English speakers around the world. You can do better, America. You just have to try.
I mean… They’re not fucking wrong.
Maybe it’s because I am a native english speaker but I read this as a pledge to murder all homeless people by cutting them in half 🤔
Maybe, but as I always say, today’s “crazy conspiracy theory” is tomorrow’s news.
Only if you’re inclined to believe the conspiracy theory first.
Doesn’t mean plenty of them don’t know or care that he’s trying to put microchips in people’s brains.
What an interesting error to point out in support of pemdas.
Clearly the formatting of a paragraph of text in a textbook full of clearly and unambiguously written formulas discussing the very order of operations itself compared to the formatting of an actual formula diagram is going to be less clear. But here you’ve chosen to point to a discussion of why the order is irrelevant in the case under question.
Your example is the conclusion of a review of mathematics.
First we shall review some mathematics.
…
The actual order of differentiation is immaterial:
The fact that the example formula is written sloppy is irrelevant, because at no point is this going to be an actual formula meant to be solved, it’s merely an illustration of why, in this case, the order of a particular operation is “immaterial”.
Even if ∂^2f/∂y∂x is clearly written to mean ∂^2f/(∂y∂x), it doesn’t matter because “∂2f/∂x∂y=∂2f/∂y∂x”. So long as you’re consistently applying pemdas, you’re going to get the same answer whether you derive x first or y.
However, when it’s time to discuss the actual formulas and equations being taught in the example text, clearly and unambiguously written formulas are illustrated as though copied from Ann illustration on a whiteboard instead of inserted into paragraphs that might have simply been transcribed from a lecture. Which, somewhat coincidentally, is exactly what your citation is.
It doesn’t work because, as pointed out by another commenter, wealth does not “trickle down”. It only accumulates. This has been demonstrated to be a basic function of wealth and the minute you begin to think about it, it becomes obvious that having more resources makes it easier to gather more resources.
I don’t know why you’re getting lost on the pedantry of defining “grade school”, when I was clearly discussing the fact that you only see this kind of sloppy formula construction in arithmetic textbooks where students are learning the basics of how to perform the calculations. Once you get into applied mathematics and specialized fields that use actual mathematics, like engineering, chemistry and physics, you stop seeing this style of formula construction because the ambiguity of the terms leads directly to errors of interpretation.
12 is a grade. I took algebra in the 7th grade.
You’ll regularly see textbooks
That’s what I said.
It’s BE(D=M)(A=S). Different places have slightly different acronyms - B for bracket vs P for parenthesis, for example.
But, since your rule has the D&M as well as the A&S in brackets does that mean your rule means you have to do D&M as well as the A&S in the formula before you do the exponents that are not in brackets?
But seriously. Only grade school arithmetic textbooks have formulas written in this ambiguous manner. Real mathematicians write their formulas clearly so that there isn’t any ambiguity.
I feel like that conspiracy is too smart for the CIA
That’s exactly what they want you to think!
Capital-F Faith is directly contrary to science and reason. It’s believing things to be true without question or proof.
It’s worse than that. It’s believing things despite contrary evidence. It’s why you can never win any “debate” with believers. They literally believe that you telling them they’re wrong proves that they are right.
You clearly don’t recall watching jpegs load on dialup internet. It could literally take minutes to load a decent sized image on 14.4 modems.
Right wing has to shout the loudest. When your ideas don’t have merit you must resort to intellectual dishonesty. Unfortunately, this tactic works best on the undereducated, which includes the vast majority of American voters. Why do you think our education system is so terrible at every level? Why do you think they fight tooth and nail against student loan forgiveness? Why do you think school lunch debt even exists?
You would turn down free bread sticks and $7M? At least eat some bread sticks.
