Operations Memes

Ever notice how everyone knows addition and subtraction, but multiplication and division are the weird cousins nobody invites to parties? The top two are like the mainstream pop hits of math—easy to grasp, universally recognized. Meanwhile, multiplication and division are the experimental jazz tracks that make your brain do somersaults! For mathematicians, these four operations are their rock band supergroup—the Beatles of computation! Addition is the cheerful Paul McCartney, subtraction is the cool John Lennon, multiplication is the quiet George Harrison making everything more complex, and division is Ringo—always creating fractions and remainders when nobody asked for them!
