Re: [Skunkworks] OT: is it 53 or 120? (methinks it is 13)

@conrad Is 8-4-4 equal to 16 or is it zero? I am starting to get a headache:-( On 12/31/10, Claire Njoki <clairenjoki@gmail.com> wrote:

@ sospeter and other upcoming mathematicians

I am just wondering, then why do we have brackets in the first place.

Who determines that the brackets are there or not?

If I put them, I get 13

If you don't put them you get 53

Therefore why were these brackets "invented".
