吵了三百樓,我發現 Wiki 裡就有乘法定義了耶。
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiplication
In algebra, multiplication involving variables is often written as a juxtaposition (e.g.
xy for x times y or 5x for five times x). This notation can also be used for quantities that are surrounded by parentheses (e.g.
5(2) or (5)(2) for five times two).
中文的更清楚:
http://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/乘法
乘法可以用幾種方法表示。以下的式子都是表示「五乘以二」:
(5)2,5(2),(5)(2),5[2],[5]2,[5][2], 5*2
==================
我想以上定義很清楚,就是我所強調的,
5*2 = 5(2)
不等於 (5(2))
