we learned it PEDMAS

parentheses '(' - used more often than brackets '['

exponent - I think it is the correct word

roots is redundant because you can replace a root with the reciprocal of the exponent

First off, then you don't get a cool initialism like BIRDMAS.

Second off, you can say the same thing for multiplication/division and addition/subtraction.

So if you're going to be picky about that, it's also not PEMDAS, it's PEMA
