PEMDAS is an acronym for the mathematical order of operations. It stands for "Parenthesis, Exponents, Multiplication, Division, Addition, and Subtraction. In algebraic theory, this is the ideal order of math sequence that should be taken when solving problems. In essence, you should solve the part of the equation in parenthesis FIRST, then deal with exponents, followed by multiplication, etc, etc, in the order listed.

A simple mnemonic for remembering the order is:
