2. Plus and minus signs - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plus_and_minus_signs

   The minus sign (−) has three main uses in mathematics: [16] The subtraction operator: a binary operator to indicate the operation of subtraction, as in 5 − 3 = 2. Subtraction is the inverse of addition. [1] The function whose value for any real or complex argument is the additive inverse of that argument.

3. Addition - Wikipedia

   A number-line visualization of the algebraic addition 2 + 4 = 6. A "jump" that has a distance of 2 followed by another that is long as 4, is the same as a translation by 6. A number-line visualization of the unary addition 2 + 4 = 6. A translation by 4 is equivalent to four translations by 1.

4. Elementary arithmetic - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elementary_arithmetic

   Addition is a mathematical operation that combines two or more numbers (called addends or summands) to produce a combined number (called the sum). The addition of two numbers is expressed with the plus sign (+). [6] It is performed according to these rules: The order in which the addends are added does not affect the sum.

5. Ordinal numeral - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ordinal_numeral

   Ordinal numbers may be written in English with numerals and letter suffixes: 1st, 2nd or 2d, 3rd or 3d, 4th, 11th, 21st, 101st, 477th, etc., with the suffix acting as an ordinal indicator. Written dates often omit the suffix, although it is nevertheless pronounced.

6. Proofs involving the addition of natural numbers - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proofs_involving_the...

   We prove associativity by first fixing natural numbers a and b and applying induction on the natural number c. For the base case c = 0, (a + b) + 0 = a + b = a + (b + 0) Each equation follows by definition [A1]; the first with a + b, the second with b. Now, for the induction. We assume the induction hypothesis, namely we assume that for some ...

7. Sign-value notation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sign-value_notation

   Sign-value notations are typically additive, subtractive, or multiplicative depending on their conventions for grouping signs together to collectively represent numbers. [ 1 ] Although the absolute value of each sign is independent of its position, the value of the sequence as a whole may depend on the order of the signs, as with numeral ...
