Dear Douglas,
Abraham Arcavi and Maxim Bruckheimer of the Weizmann Institute of Science once
put together a collection of sources on the history of negative numbers, meant
to be the basis for in-service mathematics teacher course. It is fairly
thorough and shows a sensitivity to historical and historiographical issues
unusual in texts of this type. You probably could obtain a copy from Arcavi
at the Weizmann Institute.
