Robert Recorde introduced the equal sign (=) in his book "The Whetstone of Witte," published in 1557. He used it to represent equality because he believed no two things could be more equal than parallel lines, which he depicted in his writing. This innovation greatly influenced mathematical notation and is still in use today.
