5.2 Diophantus: Diophantus lived in Alexandria in times of Roman
... Notable in Arithmetica is the introduction of short forms that anticipate algebra: ζ is his unknown ∆Υ = ζ 2 ; K Υ = ζ 3 ∆Υ ∆ = ζ 4 ; ∆K Υ = ζ 5 and KK Υ = ζ 6 . Diophantus also introduced a minus sign which was an upside down ψ. Example: ∆Υ ∆1K Υ 12M 13ψ∆Υ 27ζ13 = ζ 4 + 12ζ 3 − 27ζ 2 − 27ζ + 13. Of ...
