Nagle Notes: Equal Sign

Hello people of the future,

Humanity is always wanting balance. Whether it’s the scale to represent the justice system or Thanos talking about the universe. In mathematics, balance is achieved using the equal sign.
  
The equal sign, “=”, was invented by Welsh mathematician Robert Recorde in the 16th century because he was tired of writing “is equal to”. He used the symbol because it inherently conveyed equality as the pair of parallel lines (Gemowe lines, meaning twin lines).
 
Being lazy can make your mark on history. Necessity is the mother of invention, but laziness is the father.

Onwards,
Nagle
