 @b541bfe5 @eb84c485 @b345c2da @c444654e I wasn't even taught the older convention but still followed it.

Speaking as an engineer who frequently has to write out equations in proper form, and a programmer who has to implement them in a single line, there's no excuse for that equation to ever be written out in that form. You always add extra parentheses when writing in a single line to avoid exactly these confusions 😅
