2. Order of operations - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Order_of_operations

   For example, multiplication is granted a higher precedence than addition, and it has been this way since the introduction of modern algebraic notation. [2] [3] Thus, in the expression 1 + 2 × 3, the multiplication is performed before addition, and the expression has the value 1 + (2 × 3) = 7, and not (1 + 2) × 3 = 9.

   Brahmagupta gave rules for addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. Henry Burchard Fine, then a professor of mathematics at Princeton University, wrote the following: The Indians are the inventors not only of the positional decimal system itself, but of most of the processes involved in elementary reckoning with the system.

4. Addition - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Addition

   Addition also obeys rules concerning related operations such as subtraction and multiplication. Performing addition is one of the simplest numerical tasks to do. Addition of very small numbers is accessible to toddlers; the most basic task, 1 + 1 , can be performed by infants as young as five months, and even some members of other animal species.

5. Elementary arithmetic - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elementary_arithmetic

   The addition of two numbers is expressed with the plus sign (+). [6] It is performed according to these rules: The order in which the addends are added does not affect the sum. This is known as the commutative property of addition. (a + b) and (b + a) produce the same output. [7] [8]

6. Arithmetic - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arithmetic

   The main arithmetic operations are addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. Arithmetic is an elementary branch of mathematics that studies numerical operations like addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. In a wider sense, it also includes exponentiation, extraction of roots, and taking logarithms.

7. Commutative property - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commutative_property

   Addition and multiplication are commutative in most number systems, and, in particular, between natural numbers, integers, rational numbers, real numbers and complex numbers. This is also true in every field. Addition is commutative in every vector space and in every algebra. Union and intersection are commutative operations on sets.
