Robert Recorde, who designed the equals sign, introduced plus and minus in 1557. Brahmagupta was an Indian mathematician who invented the multiplication sign around the 19th century. Johann Rahn first used the division sign in his book Teutshe algebra in 1659.
it was Leonhard Euler, the 18th century Swiss mathematician, who invented the square root sign. However, the concept of square roots was known to the Greeks long before that around the time when Archimedes lived.
It was first used in a algebra book called "Teutshe algebra" in 1659. The author was a man named Johann Rahn.

Invented by English mathematician Robert Recorde. That's all i know.
The division sign (÷), known as the obelus, was first used in the 17th century by German mathematician Johann Rahn in his book "Teutsche Algebra." Originally, it served to denote division in arithmetic and algebra, distinguishing it from other operations like multiplication. The symbol's design resembles a horizontal line with a dot above and below, visually representing the division process. Over time, it became a standard notation in mathematics, particularly in educational contexts.
The subtract sign, or minus sign (−), was first used in the 15th century by the German mathematician Johannes Widmann in his book "Mercantile Arithmetic." Widmann's notation helped standardize mathematical operations and laid the groundwork for modern arithmetic. While earlier symbols existed for subtraction, Widmann's use popularized the minus sign in mathematical writing.
There is no division sign but press Alt 246 and you will get a division sign ÷
