Have a look at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Order_of_operations#Mnemonics . The BEDMAS mnemonic isn’t really a good way to think of order of operations. Much better to just know the principles of your number field (e.g. associativity, commutativity, etc.), and remember what the shorthand is for dropping parentheses.
