What is the reason for the order of operations?

Those are conventions. Many people have gotten accustomed, over the years, to doing operations in a certain order. You can invent your own set of rules, but those would have to be clearly stated to avoid confusion... and it would serve no useful purpose. Having SOME order of operations defined is useful, to avoid having to write parentheses any time you have more than one operation.

How is order of operations used in maths?

Let's look at 5 * 4 - 2 Do you multiply 5 by 4 and then subtract 2 to get an answer of 18 or Do you subtract 2 from 4 and the multiply by 5 to get an answer of 10 To avoid this confusion, a order of operations is defined and accepted by the world. In this simple case, multiplication takes precedence over subtraction, so the correct answer is 18. Mathematical operations include exponentiation, multiplication, division, addition and subtraction. If you are into computer programming, you can add logical operations to this set of operations. There is a set orders of computation that has been agreed upon by everyone to give consistent answers no matter who evaluates the expression. One caveat to this is the use of parentheses to force the order of evaluation in certain desired ways.
