ALGEBRAIC EXPRESSION
A generalization of arithmetic ideas using variables to represent any
number.
EXPONENTS
In the expression b , b is called the base and n is called the exponent.
This expression can be read "b to the nth power".
If n is a positive integer and b is any real number, then b n means to
multiply b times itself n number of times.
bn = bbb b
If n = 2, then b2 can be read "b squared".
If n = 3, then b3 can be read "b cubed".

ORDER OF OPERATIONS
Operations on numerical expressions will be performed in the following order:
1. Expressions contained in grouping symbols. ( ), { }, [ ], ----,
(Begin with the innermost set of symbols.)
2. Evaluate any exponents.
3. Multiply or divide in the order of appearance from left to right.
4. Add or subtract in the order of appearance from left to right.
