The only mathematical precedence that I know of is PEMDAS. But nowhere in this chapter was Operator Precedence talked about.

In lesson Arithmetic Operators, the order of precedence is defined. Please refer to the below screenshot.
Understanding operator precedence is important for writing correct and efficient code, as it ensures that expressions are evaluated in the intended order.
Operator precedence refers to the order in which different operators are evaluated in an expression. While PEMDAS (Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication and Division, Addition and Subtraction) is a commonly taught acronym to remember the order of operations in arithmetic expressions, operator precedence applies to programming languages as well, including Python.
In Python, operator precedence determines the order in which operators are applied when evaluating expressions. For example, multiplication and division have higher precedence than addition and subtraction.
Here’s a brief overview of Python’s operator precedence:
**) has the next highest precedence.*), division (/), integer division (//), and modulo (%) have higher precedence than addition (+) and subtraction (-).+) and subtraction (-) have the lowest precedence among arithmetic operators.If you encounter expressions involving multiple operators, Python evaluates them based on their precedence, following the order described above.
