[QUOTE="goonchild, post: 879186, member: 14725"] Except that multiplication and division are of equal precedence, because division is simply multiplication by the inverse - i.e. 6 ? 2 = 6 ? (1 ? 2), now explicit multiplication. Anyway, this whole exercise illustrates neatly the potential pitfalls of in-line notation, even though they're quite easily avoided by the appropriate use of brackets of all shapes. I shouldn't wonder that much of the blame can be put at the door of publishers looking to cut costs. [/QUOTE]
