👉 Signed math is an extension of traditional mathematics that incorporates signs to represent the directionality and orientation of mathematical objects, such as vectors, functions, and geometric transformations. In standard mathematics, numbers are typically considered to have no inherent direction, but signed math introduces a notion of "positive" and "negative" values to indicate direction or magnitude in opposite directions. For example, a vector can be represented as both \( \mathbf{v} \) and \( -\mathbf{v} \), where \( \mathbf{v} \) is positive and \( -\mathbf{v} \) is negative, signifying opposite directions. This framework is particularly useful in fields like physics and engineering, where directionality is crucial, such as in describing forces, velocities, and orientations. Signed math allows for a more nuanced and comprehensive representation of mathematical concepts by explicitly accounting for their directional properties.
