Read http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reverse_Polish_notation
The topic was unconventional _math_ notations... when you study
math (at least
from Kindergarten up through a B.S. in Computer Science), you are
taught to
evaluate expressions from left to right using My Dear Aunt Sally
and later
exponentiation comes in.
Right to left is therefore unconventional _math_ notation, based
on my
experience of learning Math here in the United States for 4-6
years (and still
s00king).
