Sticky operations

This blog post is about a metaphor I use when I think about the order of operations: the idea that the various operations are stickier than the others, holding the numbers around them together more or less strongly.

You can read the rest of this blog post, and the other posts in the series across the years, in PDF form here.

The titles of the five blog posts are:

• The reorder of operations
• (Holding it together)
• The Operation Tower
• Replacing
• Sticky operations
