In making the capital letter it was made more and more carelessly until the top partt.f the "p" was finally placed near the center; hencn the plus sign as we know it was gradually reached. The sign of subtraction was derived from the word "'minus." The word was first contracted in in, n, s. with tv horizontal line above to indicate that some of the letters had bisfn left out. At last the letters were omitted alto gether. Raving ouly the short line. The multiplication sign wra obtained by changing the plus sign into the let ter X.

After years f.f "evolution" the, .I'm were omit test altogether and simple dots set in the place t.f each. As with the others the radical sign was derived from the initial letter of the word "radix."
