Please Excuse My Dear Aunt Sally
what mathematicians agreed on an so that numercial expressions would have only one value?
Because that is a rule mathematicians agreed upon many years ago.
Yes, except for one thing: mathematicians are not agreed whether 0 belongs to it.
All negative integers are whole numbers but not natural numbers. Mathematicians are not agreed about whether 0 is a natural number or not.
Every positive whole number, such as 1, 2, 3, and so on. Mathematicians are not agreed on whether 0 is or is not a natural number.

Yes, but it does not have a specific name - unless you want to give it one that is agreed by mathematicians around the world!

BODMAS (or PEMDAS) is not a formula. It is a convention, agreed by mathematicians so that they work things out in the same way and therefore get the same answers (hopefully!).
Mathematicians are not agreed on this point. Some use N and N+ to distinguish between the set of Natural numbers including 0, and not including 0.
