If we didn’t use parentheses in primary school, because “the math doesn’t need it”, then it would be quite unnecessarily hard on the students’ learning. Maybe it’s a joke someone made for a class?
I understand your point, and agree when it comes to programming with things like scope, typing, semicolons, etc, etc… Many concepts are easier to learn when enforced through syntax.
Though if someone gets cofused on the transitive nature of multiplication with a single simple equation … They aren’t learning math.
How old are you? Do you remember how stupid we were when we were like, 12? How learning new shit really required over clarification ad nauseam seen through our eyes now? Teachers are really patient people.
Anyway, this is just a joke post. Get over it. 🙂 Laugh at the funny. Instead of sucking it out of us. ❤️ The parentheses help make it look like the math is more advanced than it really is. It’s fine. Shhh. No no. Shhh. It’s supposed to be funny.
The parenthesis are pointless. Exponents go first, but multiplication doesn’t care about order, and there is only multiplication going on.
The parentheses are for clarification and thus not pointless. Know your audience. 🙂👍
Clarification of what? The joke doesn’t need them and neither does the math.
That Z² is equal to ZZ.

No, it is syntactically unnecessary.

They could be used to separate two letter symbol (Pi) from one letter symbol (Z, Z, a)
