I find it interesting how many "math people" abuse the equal sign. Today I saw a "lesson" that tried to explain how to multiply 3 x 40 like this: 3 x 4 = 12 x 10 = 120 Hmm, as I was typing that I Hmm, as I was typing that I started to consider an alternate definition of the equal sign that assigns equality, but also evaluates to the value. Still, the above equation needs parens. (3 x 4 = 12) x 10 = 120 Log in or register to post comments Log in or register to post comments
