Mathematical Operations and Exponents

The video tutorial covers lesson 14 on evaluating expressions with exponents. It begins with an introduction to exponents and moves on to calculating the area and perimeter of squares. The tutorial then explains how to find the volume and surface area of cubes. It emphasizes the importance of the order of operations, particularly PEMDAS, in solving expressions with exponents. The video concludes with practice problems to reinforce the concepts learned.
