The subtraction sign (−) was first used in print by the mathematician Johannes Widmann in his book "Mercantile Arithmetic" published in 1489. However, the symbol was popularized in the 16th century by mathematicians like Michael Stifel and later by others, leading to its widespread acceptance in mathematical notation. The use of the subtraction sign has since become a standard in mathematics across various cultures and languages.
