Not exactly. To convert an expression from parenthesized algebraic
notation to RPN, you have to handle the parentheses (nested or not)
yourself. In RPN, there aren't any parentheses.

My degree's in math, not CS, and I failed compiler construction the
first time, but I still have something like 40 hours of CS. My hat's off
to Roger for passing compiler design.
