Should this really have its own article? Wikipedia:WikiProject_Numbers suggests that facts about -N should be mentioned on the page for +N. And this is a particularly short and stubby article. 4pq1injbok 02:39, 3 Jul 2004 (UTC)
No comments? I'm about to move this to 40 and redirect, then. 4pq1injbok 03:45, 3 Aug 2004 (UTC)
[edit] Please don't
I just did some real work. Superm401 03:59, 14 Jan 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Minus/Negative
My understanding is that rather than reading "Minus Forty", it should read "Negative Forty" since minus is a binary operator and negative is a unary operator. "Minus forty" is certainly dominant in common usage, but I believe it to be incorrect. Anyone? Macho Philipovich 21:40, 20 December 2005 (UTC)
I agree with this. Minus means subtraction, not negativity. 24.146.8.72 14:50, 10 July 2006 (UTC)
