Order of Operations in Mathematics

This video tutorial from MooMoo Math explains the order of operations using the mnemonic PIMAS, which stands for Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication, Division, Addition, and Subtraction. The video provides several example problems to demonstrate the correct application of these operations, emphasizing the importance of following the correct order to avoid mistakes. The tutorial also introduces the mnemonic 'Please Excuse My Dear Aunt Sally' as another way to remember the order. The video concludes with a reminder to subscribe and share the content.
