The subtract sign, or minus sign (−), was first used in the 15th century by the German mathematician Johannes Widmann in his book "Mercantile Arithmetic." Widmann's notation helped standardize mathematical operations and laid the groundwork for modern arithmetic. While earlier symbols existed for subtraction, Widmann's use popularized the minus sign in mathematical writing.
