True - but it was a chap called Isaac Newton who defined the science methodology...! Although the Chinese used negative numbers in 200 BCE It was not until the 19th century when British mathematicians like De Morgan, Peacock, and others, began to investigate the 'laws of arithmetic' in terms of logical definitions that the problem of negative numbers was finally sorted out.
