==History==
According to Cajori, ''A History of Mathematical Notations,'' Johann Rahn used both the ''therefore'' and ''because'' signs to mean "therefore"; in the German edition of ''Teutsche Algebra'' (1659) the ''therefore'' sign was prevalent with the modern meaning, but in the 1668 English edition Rahn used the ''because'' sign more often to mean "therefore". Other authors in the eighteenth century also used three dots in a triangle shape to signify "therefore," but as with Rahn, there wasn't much in the way of consistency as to how the triangle was oriented; ''because'' with its current meaning appears to have originated in the nineteenth century. In this century, the three-dot notation for therefore became very rare in continental Europe, but it remains popular in the British Isles.
