To make sure what's inside the brackets is resolved internally before they're multiplied with each other.

 (a)  (b)   =   a * b  
(a+1)(b+1) =/= a+1*b+1

TIL this notation makes it math the text up

(a)  (b)   =   a * b  
    (a+1)(b+1) =/= a+1*b+1

Edit: hmm, already shows in a code block so adding backticks didn’t do anything
