Sticky operations

Posted on Nov 2 2020 by David Butler

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.

The titles of the five blog posts are:

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