What does negative polarity mean with electricity?
Polarity is the direction of flow of electrons throughout a circuit. There are two types of polarity: positive and negative. Postive polarity is of older circuits which means electrons flow from positive to negative. Negative polarity is of more modern circuits and that is the flow of electrons from negative to positive such as on car batteries
Is assimilation a generally positive or negative?
to me assimilation implies both an overt and covert top-down change pattern even in modern days, therefore it is negative. be careful of education! awareness is necessary.

What are real numbers in modern algebra?
Real numbers include both positive and negative numbers, and also zero; also included are integers and fractions, including all types of fractions (rational, irrational, or transcendental). Only imaginary numbers are not real.
Why is there not a negative zero?
Short answer: Negative zero does exist, and is equal to zero.Let's think in terms of a number line. We start off with a 0. To the right of 0 are all the positive numbers in order. 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, etc.Now let's go ahead and add in the negative numbers to the left of 0...., -4, -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, ...Now think about what the relationship is between any number and its negative. We see that given a number, n, and its negative, -n, we see that they are both n spaces away from 0 on the number line. It's just the positive one is to the right and the negative one is to the left.Given this information, we need to look at negative zero. This number will be the same number of spaces away from zero as positive zero is. Confused? Let's simplify it...How far away from zero is zero? It's 0 numbers away.How far away from zero is negative zero? It's 0 numbers away.From this it should be more clear that zero and negative zero are the same number.How Negative Zero Is UsedSo, we know that negative zero and positive zero are equal to each other. Why, then, do we have both and when is each one used?We'll look at two common uses (the only ones I've come across, personally).The first is rounding. Let's say we want to round to the nearest whole number.0.5 rounds to 110 rounds to 100.1 rounds to 0-0.1 rounds to -0
