Earliest Uses of Symbols of Operation
Last revision: March 25, 2002
ADDITION AND SUBTRACTION SYMBOLS
Plus (+) and minus (-). Nicole d' Oresme (1323-1382) may have used a figure which looks like a plus symbol as an abbreviation for the Latin et (meaning "and") in Algorismus proportionum, believed to have been written between 1356 and 1361. The symbol appears in a manuscript of this work believed to have been written in the fourteenth century, but perhaps by a copyist and not Oresme himself. The symbol appears, for example, in the sentence: "Primi numeri sesquiterti sunt .4. et .3., et primi numeri sev termini sesquialtere sunt .3. et .2." [Dic Sonneveld]. The plus symbol as an abbreviation for the Latin et , though appearing with the downward stroke not quite vertical, was found in a manuscript dated 1417 (Cajori). The + and - symbols first appeared in print in Mercantile Arithmetic or , by Johannes Widmann (born c. 1460), published in Leipzig in 1489. However, they referred not to addition or subtraction or to positive or negative numbers, but to surpluses and deficits in business problems (Cajori vol. 1, page 128). Here is an image of the first use in print of the + and - signs

http://www-groups.dcs.st-and.ac.uk/~history/Mathematicians/ Aparte de la adopción de los dígitos arábigos y del trabajo de unas pocas personas de talento (como Pappus y Fibonacci ), durante los siglos que prosiguieron a Diophantus no se habían producido avances significativos en Matemáticas. En los siglos XV y XVI tuvo lugar un repentino brote de actividad impulsado por el descubrimiento chino de la imprenta, la cual llegó a Europa en 1450 y propulsó a unas Matemáticas (tanto las puras como las aplicadas) que se habían quedado estancadas en los logros de tiempos ancestrales. Es conveniente recalcar la importancia de la imprenta para la difusión del conocimiento matemático. El copiado a mano de textos matemáticos requería mucho tiempo y esfuerzo. En los tiempos antiguos, de la mayoría de los textos sólo existía una copia única que se encontraba en la biblioteca de Alejandría; ésta es la razón por la cual toda la actividad matemática estuvo concentrada en un solo sitio durante unos ochocientos años. Con la llegada de la imprenta dichos textos pasaron a estar disponibles por todo el mundo civilizado y la gente podía aprender matemáticas en lugares tan distantes como Bohemia o Escocia. En este episodio y en los dos siguientes se van a presentar los avances que se dieron en esta época en las siguientes áreas: notación matemática, teoría de las ecuaciones, descubrimiento de los logaritmos, y mecánica y astronomía.

IN VERSE AND FABLE.
THE DEVIL in folklore is entitled to our ungrudging admiration for his indefatigable energy. There are innumerable devil-stones thrown at churches, there are devil-walls, devil-bridges, cathedrals, monasteries, castles, dikes, and mills, built by him for the purpose of seducing and gaining souls. He has had his finger in the pie everywhere and appears to be all but omnipresent and omniscient. In popular literature the Devil plays a most important role. While he is still regarded as the incarnation of all physical and moral evil, his main office has become that of a general mischief-worker in the universe; without him there would be no plot, and the story of the world would lose its interest. He appears as the critic of the good Lord, as the representative of discontent with existing conditions, he inspires men with the desire for an increase of wealth, power, and knowledge; he is the mouth-piece of all who are anxious for a change in matters political, social, and ecclesiastical. He is identified with the spirit of progress so inconvenient to those who are satisfied with the existing state of things, and thus p. 408

Earliest Uses of Symbols of Operation
Last revision: June 24, 1999
ADDITION AND SUBTRACTION SYMBOLS
Plus (+) and minus (-). The plus symbol as an abbreviation for the Latin et (and), though appearing with the downward stroke not quite vertical, was found in a manuscript dated 1417 (Cajori). The + and - symbols first appeared in print in Mercantile Arithmetic or Behende und h?psche Rechenung auff allen Kauffmanschafft , by Johannes Widmann (born c. 1460), published in Leipzig in 1489. However, they referred not to addition or subtraction or to positive or negative numbers, but to surpluses and deficits in business problems (Cajori vol. 1, page 128). Here is an image of the first use in print of the + and - signs, from Widman's Behennde vnd h?psche Rechnung. This image is taken from the Augsburg edition of 1526. Widman wrote, "Was - ist / das ist minus ... vnd das + das ist mer." He also wrote, "4 centner + 5 pfund" and "5 centner - 17 pfund," thus showing the excess or deficiency in the weight of boxes or bales (Smith vol. 2, page 399). Smith (vol. 2, page 398) explains the origin of the + sign by connecting it to the Latin word for "and":
