Arithmetical operations

Mathmate supports all the usual arithmetical operations: addition (+), subtraction (-), multiplication (*), division (/) and raising to a power (^).

The precedence order is the usual one: raising to a power has the highest priority and is followed by division and multiplication. However, the user is encouraged to use brackets wherever appropriate to avoid confusion.

Example: a / b * c is understood by Mathmate as (a / b ) * c. If you wish to have a / (b * c), either use brackets or write a / b / c (which, in its turn, is not interpreted as a / (b / c)).
