History of integers During the 600s, negative numbers were in
use in India to represent debits However ,in the 12th century in India ,
Bhaskara gives negative roots for quadratic equations but says the negative value ‘is in this case not to be taken , for it is inadequate; people do not approve of negative roots.’
As recently as the 18th century ,the Swiss mathematician leonard Euler believed that negative numbers were greater than infinity.

Negative integers are commonly seen in sports. Consider hockey
Each line of players records a plus or a minus.
If other team scores on your line that’s a minus.
If some one plays on your line and scores a goal that a plus if neither team scores then it’s a 0.
Finally banks and credit card unions use negative numbers
Negative numbers can be used to represent debits and positive to represent credits
It is easy to see how banks and credit cards use positive and negative integers to show weather money is deposited or withdrawn.
Case study weather of Indian cities
A better understanding of integer concepts is obtained by doing case studies.
Lets take an example of the weather of Indian cities .
We have taken two cities both which are situated below the sea level and compared the temperature of the cities of the year 2009.
The first city is Kargil which is 3048m below sea level.
The second is Delhi which is 239m below the sea level.

A man walks 75 km due north and then 9 km due south. Find his position with respect to his starting point ?
Solution:Let the starting point be zero.Let the movement towards north be
represented by a ‘+’ signThen let the movement towards south be
represented by a ‘-’ sign
Therefore 75km due north = +75 90km due south = -90 On adding we get, =+75+(-90) =75-90 = -15 Therefore his position with respect to
his starting point is 15km due south
