It will likely never be known. However, the first appearance was in the book authored from the papers of Thomas Harriot entitled The Artis Analyticae Praxis ad Aequationes Algebraicas Resolvendas (Analytical Arts Applied to Solving Algebraic Equations) published 1631 after his death in 1621. It was his last will to have his work published. His papers are no longer in existence so the safest answer would be to say it was Thomas Harriot or one of the persons that took on the task of publishing such as Walter Warner. It was said that while surveying in North America Harriot saw a symbol on a Native American similar to a greater than and less than symbol transposed and turned 90 degrees.
