How and why the BODMAS rule was formed ?

How and why the BODMAS rule was formed ?

Some where I have read that the Order of Hierarchy emerges from a natural occurance, perhaps ingrained in human brain as a part of our psychology by the mother nature. Probably the emergence of the Order of Hierarchy is from the same centers of our brain where the Rationalization and the Justice rest.
      Addition and Multiplication have a commutative property which is why we like to give Addition and Multiplication a higher preference to Subtraction and Division.
    At the same time, the strength of the operator is also accounted in to assign the order of preference. Thus Exponent and Roots are given preference over Multiply, Divide, Add or Subtract.
    Between Multiply and Divide , Multiplication of OF  form is given precedence due to Commutative Property. And Addition is given preference over Subtraction due same Commutative Property.
   Commutative Property is when terms being interchanged do not affect the answer. That is, a+b and a×b are same as b+a and b×a respectively, whereas a-b and a÷b are not same as b-a and b÷a. Thus, Addition and Multiplication are Commutative while Subtraction and Division are non-commutative.
     In between, owing to the strength of operator, Multiplication and Division take precedence over Addition and Subtraction.
     Brackets or Parenthesis takes precedence over the rest due to ingrained psychology to give preference to internal resolution before interaction with the outer operator.
         One question is why Division is given preference over Multiplication of Direct Form (x) ?
     This is possibly because Division of (/) slash form is seen as parenthesis operation. Similarly, Division of ÷ operator is seen inferior to all other operator signs of Multiplication and Division.

The Orals

The Orals That’s how we popularly know them. The popular name gives an innuendo of that pleasure act equally popular in our MMS-crazed generation but, here, is actually a short form for Oral Examinations conducted by the Mercantile Marine Department (MMD) of Ministry of Shipping, India, for certification of merchant naval officers. The final steps towards acquiring any grade of licenses involves a face-to-face interview with examiners of MMD, known as Surveyors as per the provisions of the MS Act, 1958, and entails examination of our technical and managerial knowledge. The results of all MMD exams are best described by a well-known maritime adage –‘Sea yields out whatever goes in it; it does not eat away anything.’ Yes, that’s right, one day or the other we all pass. But then like all humans have a need for some challenge to give them reasons to live, we have devised the challenge in passing the exams in ‘first shot’. Over these years of revampe

Why say "No" to the demand for a Uniform Civil Code in India

 What is Uniform Civil Code? Uniform Civil Code (UCC) is a set of laws that apply equally to all residents regardless of their sexual orientation, gender, or affiliation with a particular religion. It means that all sections of society, irrespective of their religion, shall be treated equally according to a national civil code, which shall be applicable to all uniformly. The code covers areas like marriage, divorce, maintenance, inheritance, adoption, and succession of property Which democracies have the UCC ? A simple Google Search will reveal that the US does not have UCC, in that, each state is allowed to have it's own laws for governing the personal laws of the citizens. The Google Search will reveal that France, Australia and and the United Kingdom have something of the " Uniform " Civil Code. But a deeper search of what is " uniform " in these countries wil reveal that it only means a set of laws applying homogenously across all the sub-divisions of the c

About the psychological, cutural and the technological impacts of the music songs

About the psychological, cutural and the technological impacts of the music songs. Jagjit Singh's gazal CDs were the ones which would run the franchise shops called as the Planet M, the Music World , all of which are now extinct. Today, I will say that this singer's work single handed ran the buisness of these shops. Because every trip to these shops meant that the customer would not return back without buying out atleast one piece of an item, — in the least he would do a purchase of one CD having a collection of Jagjit Singh's gazals. As for us, as sailors, in Indian ports we used to buy CDs of his songs; and from China, we used to buy English Songs. Sometimes me and my friends would laugh out at how many CDs we had collected of the same set of songs, in which , just the order of the songs was little different from an other collection in a CD that we already owned. The era from mid '90s upto 2010's was that of the music albums. I remember the name of one of the e
