The plus sign (+) was first introduced by the mathematician Johannes Widmann in his book "Mercantile Arithmetic" published in 1489. However, it was the Swiss mathematician Leonhard Euler who popularized its use in the 18th century. The symbol itself has roots in earlier notations but became standardized with Widmann's work.
