The Order of Operations, also known as the "PEMDAS" rule, is a set of guidelines used to determine the sequence in which arithmetic operations should be performed in a mathematical expression. It stands for Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication and Division (from left to right), and Addition and Subtraction (from left to right). The Order of Operations ensures that mathematical expressions are calculated in a consistent and unambiguous way, so that different people can arrive at the same answer. Adhering to the Order of Operations is crucial in mathematics, as performing operations in the wrong order can lead to incorrect answers.
