I want to know if somebody in the list knows a good book about the
evolution of the concept of negative number. It could not even be
dedicated exclusively to the topic, but it is important a rigorously
treatment. One gets a lot of material about the rationals and irrationals,
but there is little on the negatives in a way more or less systematic
(at least I know very little).
Thank you
