PS: It is spelled, 'asterisk'. Its the same symbol that is on the multiplication key on a calculator, or on the numeric pad on any keyboard, between the divide key (/) and subtration key(-) and kitty-corner from the addition key (+) Quote Link to comment

Yeah but in algebra you use X as a varible a lot of the time so a different symbol is needed for multiplication to avoid confusion. Quote Link to comment

(Still want to know what the 'Kitty Corner' is... ) Knowschad already explained that part: Kitty corner is where you put the cat box. but since we have "catty-corner" too, then that must be where you put the cat box if you have older cats. The first being younger kittens of course. Quote Link to comment

Mostly, in algebra, "a times b" is simply written as ab. Quote Link to comment
