Plus and minus signs - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The plus (+) and minus (−) signs are used universally to represent the notions of positive and negative as well as the operations of addition and subtraction. The Unicode minus sign is designed to be the same length and height as the plus and equals signs. Because of the special use of the minus sign in mathematics, written mathematics should avoid as much as possible hyphens and dashes that could be misread as minus signs. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Minus_sign   (790 words)

Grade K: Modeling and Recording Subtraction: When Students Ask Remind them that since the minus sign (–) means "subtract," the number you are subtracting from goes before the minus sign and the number being subtracted goes after the minus sign. Why do I need to learn the minus and equals signs? Since the equals sign (=) tells you that two amounts are the same, you need to write the difference between the two groups after the equals sign. www.eduplace.com /math/mw/background/k/08/te_k_08_model_ask.html   (342 words)

Annoyances.org - Win Explorer Collapsing Folders Problem (Windows 98 Discussion Forum) Clicking on the minus sign next to the folder name "Windows" should cause all of the "Windows" sub-folders to collapse and the minus sign next to the "Windows" folder name should revert to a +, and the highlight move to the folder "Windows". THEN, they expand again, the + changes to a minus and the highlight moves back to the "System" name, then again moves back to and now stops at the "Windows" name, with the minus sign still there, and all of the "Windows" sub-folders still expanded. Let's say "C" and folder "Windows" has been expanded, and all of the "Windows" sub-folders appear, and there is a minus sign next to the name "Windows", and the sub-folder "System" is highlighted. www.annoyances.org /exec/forum/win98/1076016828   (382 words)

Precedence and Prophylactic Parentheses The unary minus and the exponentiation operator, **, are assigned to the highest priority group but, because that group is evaluated right to left, the ** in -2**2 will be evaluated before the change of sign.

The minus in front is not a unary minus attached to the ω. www.macnauchtan.com /pub/precedence.html   (6095 words)

Math Forum - Ask Dr. Math We usually use the plus-or-minus sign, with the plus on top, when we want to indicate that both signs are valid. If when one is chosen as positive the other is to be negative, we use a minus-or-plus sign for the second. The classic example is in the quadratic formula, where each choice of sign for the square root leads to a different root. mathforum.org /library/drmath/view/61065.html   (291 words)

MrExcel Message Board :: View topic - double minus sign in clever SUMPRODUCTS One of the, if not the, fastest and most efficient ways is to use two negation operators together, which changes the sign twice, resulting in a numeric value. My understanding of the double unary is that the first “-” converts true/false to -1/0 (True = 1, false = 0) and the second “-” changes the sign to 1/0. If you go to the thread referred to by Paddy, and remove the double unary from the Sumproduct formula, the answer is 0 (zero). www.mrexcel.com /board2/viewtopic.php?t=78532&highlight=coercion   (456 words)
