No it doesn't matter which one you use. They're just different ways of remembering the same thing! Use whichever one you are most comfortable with.

Why does the witch require it to work? Unless you meant "which," which is totally a different word. And BIMDAS isn't there because it's built in to the calculator. And by the way, it's spelled PEMDAS, not BIMDAS. Go to school for once, idiot.

I like the witch comment but who is the idiot?

In Ausrtralia your PEDMAS  if referred to a  BODMAS

 

BIMDAS may be what this student is taught

brackets, indices, (multiplication and division) (addition and subtraction)  MAKES PERFECT SENSE.

 

All scientific calculators that I have seen, including this one, have order of operation automatically built in.

In the United States the acronym PEMDAS is common. It stands for Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication, Division, Addition, Subtraction. PEMDAS is often expanded to "Please Excuse My Dear Aunt Sally", with the first letter of each word creating the acronym PEMDAS. Canada and New Zealand use BEDMAS, standing for Brackets, Exponents, Division, Multiplication, Addition, Subtraction. Most common in the UK and Australia are BODMAS and BIDMAS. In some English speaking countries, Parentheses may be called Brackets, or symbols of inclusion and Exponents may be called either Indices,Powers or Orders, which have the same precedence as Roots or Radicals. Since multiplication and division are of equal precedence, M and D are often interchanged, leading to such acronyms as BOMDAS. The original order of operations in some countries was BODMAS, which stands for Brackets, Orders or Powers, Division, Multiplication, Addition, Subtraction. The O is sometimes associated with Of. This mnemonic was common until exponentials were added into the mnemonic.

O stands for order.

 

'To the order of'   means the same as  'to the power of'

the order is the exponential number.

Does it really matter which one to use because it's pretty similar unless I'm wrong but I usually use BEDMAS because that's what I was taught.
