6 - 1 x 0 + 2 ÷ 2 = ? (1 Viewer)

Perhaps I was given several. This went on for 2 weeks. It must have been several.

So was 176 the cumulative score?(Cumulative means you add all the scores together - in case you were unsure, and embarrassed to ask)

How clever.

Plenty of tests go up to 160 and above. They are age adjusted and that is how far ahead of my "peers" I was. I am not qualified in this area to explain precisely how the tests work. When all that assessment was done that is what they told my mother and I when they brought her in to inform her what they were going to do with.

Anyone here work with this sort of testing that could shed some light on it?

OK- so why do we have an order of operations rule? I get that we have one but what's the logic of it? Wouldn't it be far simpler to go from left to right unless there were parenthesis?

I know a lot of people laughed at tim for this, but did anyone really answer it? We use PEMDAS. Why? Why not left-to-right-except-when-there-are-parentheses, as tim suggested?

In reality, it's just a matter of convention. We use PEMDAS because that's what we've all agreed to do, just like -52 = -25 because that's what we've all (hopefully, finally) agreed that it's equal to. Switching from PEMDAS to something else wouldn't destroy the commutative property, as someone suggested earlier. It's just a convention for communicating in a way that everyone understands. If we all agreed to write math formulas in left-to-right format, instead of PEMDAS, the commutative property of addition and multiplication would still hold. We'd just need to write our formulas in a different order to express the same thing.

We call the sky "blue." In Spain, they call it "azul" - the sky hasn't fallen there, they've just adopted a different convention for communicating. When someone wants to express the color of the sky, there's nothing inherent in the letters "B", "L", "U", and "E" that conveys it. English-speakers just agreed that when you put those shapes together, in that order, it means something.

This is all true and now that we've all agreed on the convention we can't switch it. But if we could start over, would simple left to right be a better system? It corresponds more closely to the way we read, so our minds are more accustomed to it. I can't think of a situation where it would be worse.

How would you write: 2 + 3 x 2 - 6 / 2 = 5

using a left to right convention?

It almost seems like you would have to group the numbers in some way - using parentheses - to get the same result. And using parenthesis is part of the current convention, no?

For the above equation, I can picture a problem where: Sally has 2 pumpkin pies, and 3 pairs of apple pies. She cut the pies in half, and gave 6 halves away. How many pies does she have left?

[jon_mx]

Let's say you have the expression 3.14*r^2. With the conventions, no parenthesis is needed as we know the r^2 must be calculated first. We can manipulate the 3.14 by dividing it out or move it to the other side of the equation with no issue. Without the order of operations convention, that simple expression now requires a parenthesis, otherwise you would multiply 3.14 times r then square it. Fairly simple mathematical expressions will be loaded with numerous embedded parentheses to the point where it would not be obvious looking at the expression that a common factor exists which could be removed/simplified.

Yeah, some equations would need to have parentheses, just like some need them now. I don't know whether more parentheses or fewer would be needed in a left-right world.

I guess its just conditioning, but I inherently read the above equation left to right - but subconsciously place parenthesis around the multiplication and division aspects of the equation - so that I am really just "seeing" 2 + (3*2) - (6/2)

Realistically, I would expect any adult scientist (or researcher or mathematician) to use parenthesis to group numbers/equations rather than rely on orders of operation - seems like it is more of a grade school phenomenon than anything.

 

[Ignoratio Elenchi]

How would you write: 2 + 3 x 2 - 6 / 2 = 5

using a left to right convention?

This may be splitting hairs, but what I think what you really mean to ask is, how would you write this using a left to right convention:

Sally has 2 pumpkin pies, and 3 pairs of apple pies. She cut the pies in half, and gave 6 halves away. How many pies does she have left?

And you'd write it like this:

3 * 2 + 2 * 2 - 6 / 2

In English, that reads that you have three pairs of apple pies, plus two pumpkin pies. You cut them in half, then take away six halves, then put the remaining halves back together to see how many pies she has left.

No parentheses needed, really. Just go left to right, and you end up with:

6 + 2 * 2 - 6 / 2

8 * 2 - 6 / 2

16 - 6 / 2

10 / 2 = 5.

Same answer as above, we just wrote the problem a different way. Note, I'm not arguing that left-to-right is better than, or even as good as, PEMDAS (I don't think it is). But it's certainly possible to adopt a different convention, and there really are other conventions, like calculator-notation and Polish notation. None is inherently the "right" way to write math, just like there's nothing inherent about the string of letters "blue" that means the color of the sky.

It also depends how you measure success. I succeeded long ago of becoming one of the greatest people to ever walk the earth. I am very happy with that but not most of my individual production.

Most of you will define success as money but that is because you are empty and intelpectually mediocre. Money is a tool that the weak invented to game the system. When this vapid system collapses only the more evolved, like me, will survive.

Its beneath me to value the things the rest of you do. It has no bearing on happiness or fulfillment.

The conventions allow us to easily manipulate complicated mathematical expressions to make them simpler. You can swap variables and constants around and associate them following the rules to obtain easier relationships. You can't do that if you are restricted to a left to right convention.

Most of you will define success as money but that is because you are empty and intelpectually mediocre. Money is a tool that the weak invented to game the system. When this vapid system collapses only the more evolved, like me, will survive.

Its beneath me to value the things the rest of you do. It has no bearing on happiness or fulfillment.

I'd rather die intelpectually mediocre and well off than penniless and brilliant, but that's me.

Because you are willing to be controlled by others.I am not.

My self respect is more valuable to me. I have no need to be rich and indulge myself in materialism and I can get anything I require without being a slave to someone else. Especially an inferior person who is driven by green an egotism.

Mooching off of GF's parents = Self Respect

You are very stupid and have listened to nothing I have said.

it's my belief that those who feel the need to cite their own measurables do so out of insecurity, whether that be how fast they can run, how much they can bench, or how high their IQ is.

Truly gifted people don't need others to acknowledge they are gifted.

Insecurity is what pushes them to succeed. Most are extremely insecure and never happy with anything they produce. They criticize themselves more than anyone.I only ever brought it up when my intelligence was questioned. Im prepared to prove it by taking another test if anyone here works in that area.

How is that working out?

Hey Mr. Smarty Pants!He couldn't have listened because you didn't say anything. Don't you mean that he didn't read anything that you typed?

 

[skol asylum]

Sure thing, 176.

You dont even know what an IQ is. You and nearly everyone thinks knowledge equates intelligence but it doesnt. Im an artistic and creative genius and ive proven that. Do you remember the comic penis drawings? Shadyriders alone proves my superiority in that regard. I couldnt care less about math and I dont have any use for it beyond whats needed in every day life.If you think just being good at math means you are intelligent then you are very much mistaken. That is just knowledge and without the creative ability to apply it in new ways it doesnt count for much.

You think guys like Archimedes and Da Vinci were just mathematicians?

You're coming off like Eugene from TWD here guy.

"I AM smarter than you."

 

[Harry Manback]

I liked your penis owl.

 

[Jules Winnfield]

Where did this wannabe prove his creative genius?

 

[MC Gas Money]

I cant believe you are all failing to see the obvious so I will explain it.

If you look at the list of the smartest people in the world, who have IQ's which are false because I hear that no tests measure that high, what do they all have in common?

They are all ugly.

This is critical for being accepted as a genius. A physically weak genius is not as threatening as someone like me who has all-around superior genetics. I am highly Intelligent as well as being physically gifted. I am tall, strong, handsome and have a penis of impressive girth. I have incredible coordination, balance and agility.

In a hunter/gatherer tribal society I am prime breeding stock. I can kill most competitors, protect women and offspring and acquire more resources. Because of my penile girth I can more easily cleanse other mens sperm from the canal of the woman I am mating with and plant my own seed.

Most of you need society and technology to protect you. I dont because I am a superior human.

OK- so why do we have an order of operations rule? I get that we have one but what's the logic of it? Wouldn't it be far simpler to go from left to right unless there were parenthesis?

Jaysus 5 pages and the poor guys question hasn't been answered yet? The reason isnt an arbitrary PEDMAS rule, its because muliplication and division are really just ratios, and adding and subtracting aren't ratios. You have to express the ratios as single numbers first before moving on to the adding and subtracting parts. Multiplication like 2x2 is really just one number ... 4 ... not two numbers. Same goes for 1/2 ... my stupid ipad doesnt have division sign for some reason ... that's one number 0.5 not two numbers.

You probably associate attractiveness with low intelligence but some of those girls really are paying for college.

 

[Ignoratio Elenchi]

The conventions allow us to easily manipulate complicated mathematical expressions to make them simpler. You can swap variables and constants around and associate them following the rules to obtain easier relationships. You can't do that if you are restricted to a left to right convention.

I'm not entirely convinced this is true. The "rules" that allow us to swap variables and constants around, etc., are not the rules of PEMDAS, they're properties like the commutative and distributive properties of addition.

Consider the example upthread. In PEMDAS, it was 6x2 + 12x + 36.

In left-to-right, the same formula could be written as x + 2 * x * 6 + 36. That doesn't require any parentheses and doesn't look much more complicated than the PEMDAS representation.

Granted, you'd have to learn a new way to manipulate left-to-right expressions, but I don't necessarily think it would be harder. It probably just seems that way because we've never done it, and we've been doing PEMDAS our whole lives. If I was taught since 3rd grade how to do math left-to-right, it could very well seem as easy and intuitive and "right" as PEMDAS does.

Multiplication like 2x2 is really just one number ... 4 ... not two numbers.

Addition like 2+2 is really just one number ... 4 ... not two numbers.
