	Positive and negative numbers
		The sign of a number refers to whether the number is positive or negative, for example, the sign of -3.2 is negative, and the sign of 442 is positive.
		If the number of negative numbers counted in step 1 is even, the product is just the product from step 2, if the number of negative numbers is odd, the product is the opposite of the product in step 2 (give the product in step 2 a negative sign).
		The reciprocal of a positive or negative fraction is obtained by switching its numerator and denominator, the sign of the new fraction remains the same.

	Integers
		Negative integers are all the opposites of these whole numbers: -1, -2, -3, -4, -5, ….
		If the number of negative integers counted in step 1 is even, the product is just the product from step 2, if the number of negative integers is odd, the product is the opposite of the product in step 2 (give the product in step 2 a negative sign).
		To divide a pair of integers if both integers have different signs, divide the absolute value of the first integer by the absolute value of the second integer, and give this result a negative sign.

		We use the positive and negative in front of the number to determine which "ladder" you are on....are you above the deck or below it.
		If the signs of the numbers are the same, keep the sign, and add the absolute values.
		If the signs of the numbers are different, use the sign of the number with the greater absolute value, then subtract absolute values.

		Mathematicians define negative numbers as the opposites of positive numbers, since they are on the opposite side of zero from the positive numbers on a number line.
		Negative numbers are always written with a negative sign, but positive numbers may be written without a positive sign.

		Keep the sign of the number with the larger absolute value. Ex: -5 + -3 Signs are the same (both negative) so I add 5 + 3 to get 8 and keep the negative sign.
		My answer is negative because the absolute value of -17 (which is 17) is larger than the absolute value of 13 (which is 13).
		Since both numbers are negative, I keep the negative sign: -5 + -13 = -18 -5 — 13 = -18 Adding/Subtracting on a number line.

		Learning to see and understand negative space as a design element is the first step in learning to read a sign graphically as opposed to culturally, and a major step forward in successful layout.
		If the areas of negative space are visually equal within and around a positive space, then, more likely than not, the two elements will compete with each other, compromising the legibility of the letter.
		In routine sign work, negative space shouldn't be seen on a conscious level, unless it creates a shape that reinforces the message.

		We propose to study here the slow birth of the negative quantities, and the obstacles which had to be overcome to reach the abstract concept of a negative number.
