He demonstrated the value of symbols by using plus + and minus - signs for operations, and letters to represent unknowns. He suggested using letters as symbols for quantities, both known and unknown. He used vowels for the unknowns and consonants for known quantities. The convention where letters near the beginning of the alphabet represent known quantities while letters near the end represent unknown quantities was introduced later by Descartes in . This convention is used today, often without people realising that a convention is being used at all. (If asked to solve ax = b nobody asks which quantity do I solve for?.)

56. 1498 A.D. francois viete (born in 1540) influenced symbolic algebra by using vowelsfor unknowns and consonants for known values in his equations. http://faculty.oxy.edu/jquinn/home/Math490/Timeline/1498AD.html

1489 A.D. First Appearance in print of "+" and "-" "Using notation, you can collect ideas and experiences that very moment you realize, 'this is important. I want to remember this ' and you can do this with out sacrificing the flow of the current work." This quote by an unknown person directly addresses the connivance of having standard notation to use in mathematical works. Besides convenience for ones own self, it is crucial to have standard notation in order to effectively and efficiently convey information to others. Amazingly enough, standardization of symbolic notations took around 300-400 years! Just to give you an idea of what was to come in the future of standardization of notations, here were some further developments that came later. He probably wasn't the first, but Vander Hoecke, a Dutch mathematician, used the + and - signs as symbols of algebraic operation in 1514. The first publication with the radical sign in it was Christoff Rudolff's, "DieCoss," in 1525. Probably it was used because the symbol resembled an r for radix. Francois Viete (born in 1540) influenced symbolic algebra by using vowels for unknowns and consonants for known values in his equations. Prior to Viete people used different letters or symbols for various powers of quadratics, Viete used the same letter. For example: A was written A; A was written A quadratum, or A q for short; A

His kindly treatment of Adrianus Romanus, a rival scholar, indicates a generous nature. To Vieta as a mathematician Huygens, Halley, Chasles, and Fourier have given high rank. He made the use of letters as symbols of quantity a general custom. He was highly skilful in the treatment of equations, knew the relations between the positive roots and the coefficients, and devised solutions for the equations of the second, third, and fourth degrees by methods different from the existing ones. He enumerated the principle of homogeneity. He extended the tables of Rheticus, gave formulae for the sine and cosine of a multiple angle, and attempted to find the value of pi by means of infinite series. To a considerable extent he applied algebra to geometry and trigonometry and geometry and trigonometry to algebra.
