A Theory of the Negative Sign: In Which, from Principles General and New in Application, the Algebra of Positive and Negative Quantities (1852)

""A Theory Of The Negative Sign"" is a mathematical book written by Henry Bailey Browning and originally published in 1852. The book is a treatise on the algebra of positive and negative quantities, exploring the principles and applications of the negative sign in mathematical equations. Browning's work delves into the historical development of negative numbers in mathematics and provides a comprehensive analysis of their properties and operations. He also introduces new principles and approaches to the algebra of negative quantities, including the concept of ""polarity"" and the use of diagrams to represent negative values. The book is divided into several chapters, each focusing on a specific aspect of the algebra of positive and negative quantities. Browning covers topics such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division of negative numbers, as well as the use of negative exponents and logarithms. Overall, ""A Theory Of The Negative Sign"" is a seminal work in the field of mathematics, providing a thorough and insightful examination of the algebraic properties and applications of negative numbers. It remains a valuable resource for students and scholars of mathematics today.Is Simply Logically Deduced.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
