BODMAS is a mnenomic for helping remember the order for dealing with mathematical operators in a mathematic statement.

First - brackets, then order (powers), then division, multiplication, addition and finally subtraction.

Resolving an equation following this will give a different result than a random order. e.g. 3x1+4(8/2)=19 not 60 nor 28 nor anything else.
