en mathematics mnemonic An acronym for arithmetic order of operations, with B first and AS last: Brackets, then order or 'of' in some curricula, then multiplication and division, then addition and subtraction.
Usage notes
This mnemonic leads many to the notion that multiplication is precedent to division, and addition to subtraction; however, these are within the pairs equal in precedence and resolved from left to right.
