I wouldnt go that far. Anyone that actually does any real math for a living doesnt have to guess as to what the person who wrote the formula intended. Thats why almost all formulas use parenthesis to eliminate confusion.

Do me a favor. Show me any real formula from any technical source- medical, scientific, engineering, mathematical etc that uses an obelus in it.

6^2/2(3) + 4

6^2= 6X6= 36
so 36/2(3) + 4

2(3)= 6 + 4

So 36/6 + 4

36/6 = 6

so 6+4 = 10.

If it isn't 10 then what the hell is being done wrong? If this is a trick problem or some shite will someone tell me?

Do you feel smarter for using the word "obelus"? I'm sure half the people on this board don't know what that word means.
